2012 E 63 AMG
Air Suspension
I have the 2012 E 63 that I took to Renntech and had it tuned. After tuning I posted a 590hp and 720tq to the rear tires! It is very, very impressive. I started having an issue with the suspension. Its not a huge deal, more of an annoyance. The car starts in comfort mode, but then after a few minutes the suspension switches to sport mode and the suspension button is completely non responsive, meaning I am unable to switch modes for the suspension. Again, the ride is great, but it is annoying why the button is frozen and it is choosing to stay in sport mode. Has anyone else had this issue? I am worried to take it in to my service center in fear they will reset the cpu losing my tune...or are the two even linked? anyone have a comment? Thanks!

how is the spark plug related to the suspension???
hows your oil consumption
in 15000 miles i had to top off 3 times,
had my first oil change at 9000

they are not related, i was having misfires sending the car into limp mode..which is why i had the ecu returned to stock before i approached the dealer on the suspension issue as well as the misfire issues.. currently the vehicles ecu is back to stock, because while it was tuned, it was consuming about 1qt every 1000 miles. seems to be fine now, so i am going back and forth with renntech about the increased boost causing blow by oil somewhere in the motor...they increase the boost alot!..obviously thats how they make the power to push this sled 11.1 in the 1/4...I plan on re-tuning it and adding the renntech spark plugs, and if it goes back to consuming oil and misfiring, i will have to call bullsh*t on renntechs innocence.

I don't think boost is the major issue for oil consuming. some cars with larger turbos are not complaining, and my car was consuming more oil when it was stock. and now after hard driving alot and after 10k km it rarely asks to add 1 liter of oil.
i have driven more than 40k km on m car modded. total now is more than 73k km.
