How much is basic Kleeman Performance Package..

Just the Pulley ECU and filter package.

I searched all over the forum and Kleeman site and found nothing.

*****Note to Kleeman....PLEASE PLEASE POST AT LEAST SOME MSRP PRICES ON YOUR SITE...***** Nothing is more frustrating to the consumer. The old "get um to call for better chance at sale" days are over. We want info and we want it fast. Times have changed.

I was quoted $3600 for the K1 and $6400 for the K2. My local MB dealer is authorized Kleemann installation center so factory warranty remains intact. The K1 would be a no-brainer for me if I decide I can't wait for the E65. Something you may want to research in your area if you do this upgrade.

How tough is the pulley install....anyone ever done it....with 10 being full time mechanic and 0 being no mechanical skill...I am running 5 to 6. Installed my own Xenons on old 500.

Maybe I should make the trip over to Co Springs...bout 600 miles from here...UGH. Wonder if they could do it on Saturday??

Kleemann Upgrade

I just called a dealer in the Chicago area about the Kleemann Stage 1 (ECU, Pulley, Filters) and I was quoted 3 days and $3500 installed.

That's a bargain for the peace of mind of a dealer install!

Knauz in Lake Bluff. They are an authorized retailer/installer. Their number is 847-604-5000. Ask for a Mercedes manager regarding Kleemann upgrades.

What do you mean your MB Dealer is an authorized Kleemann dealer and the factory warranty will stay intact? Do you mean the factory warranty on the Kleeman parts or the whole MB warranty?

Knauz is an authorized retailer per Kleemann's website. I know one of their BMW salesman who placed me in contact with one of the MB managers. I didn't state that the factory warranty stayed intact. However, according to details in the The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, warranty service cannot be declined unless the specific upgrade caused the issue (i.e. they can't deny warranty service on the radio because of a pulley). It gets to be more of a grey area but it seems that if they install it, they'll "overlook" some upgrades as long as they are not the direct cause of the failure.
