Do you know if that's for all 63 models or just the E?

As far as transmission software, there is always new transmission software coming out.

Service campaign is for replacement of engine oil dipstick on some CLK63, E63, and CLS63. And only 14 cars total need to have the crankcase ventilation pressure regulator valve replaced. The cause for the campaign is listed as crankcase pressure causing the engine oil dipstick to be "pushed out", and this replacement will be a preventative measure for rough idle complaints.

I have no idea if thats all E or just 63 =D

Also I read something about New AMG tranny SWsuppose to blip the throttle when you downshift. Not sure if is the one or at least something elegible for E class. I really hate to downshift from 3rd to 2nd, it jerks if I don't give gas and I am just lazy....

If they do the throttle blip upgrade, it will only be for the Black Series. I was the one who brought this to AMG's attention in the Private Lounge and they said they would make it available...but in the most recent chat session they said it's not as easy or cost effective as they initially thought...so, we shall see.

Few people mentioned it, heck I would be pissed for not having it, if i had a CLK BS.
I also would find it hard to believe that MB did not know about this

But non the less brining it to their attention is good, shows them we know & are demanding!

What? Something must be wrong!! When I downshift from 3 to 2 the car is smooth as silk, no jerk or roughness.

what about from 5th or 6th kick down to 3rd? I had some serious jerk on that.

but anyway, seems like they did flash the SW because it once again feel strong, i know it will go away soon once it "adapted" driving style......just like before.
And...no blip.....

i will look up the SW #.

does anyone know pressure regulator valve recall? they said is new , they still waiting for parts. but does anyone know which components it belongs to?
engine? transmission?

p.s. no blip is stupid...even my wife's 335 will blip when downshift or at least it feels that way, it dowshift so smooth and strong.
