Getting my car Dyno'ed Saturday... what should I know?

I've gotten my W210 55 and B6 S4 dyno'ed before and didn't do anything special.

But for my W211 55, is there anything in particular I should do? Dyno mode? Is there such a thing?

I was gonna do a fresh oil change today as well, but I don't know if I'll have time. Would that contribute to better numbers at all? New air filters? (I have stockies) Speaking of which, how the hell do you check the air filters?

Danke Schoen!

Vid to get her into dyno mode.


Other than that, shift her slowly up to 4th and then let it rip. Keep it in M of course.

Have fun. Great to watch the dyno guys faces when the torque monster erupts.

Make sure they strap the car down good and tight.

Air the rear tires up to max safe inflation and make sure they get the tires on the rollers at the optimum angle (45 deg. ish)..

If you are going for baseline numbers, then you will need to be able to repeat everything for next time.. (Engine temp, IAT temp, air pressure, roller angle, etc. etc)..

Video is good but you don't need to do 2 clicks, OFF, 1 click then 3 times rapidly push the reset button.

Just turn key 1 click then 3 times rapidly push the reset button and you are in that menu.
