I was curious how many people are running tunes on their m157. Would love to hear feedback on ( Reliability, Years and miles since tune, negatives/positives ) Pretty much anything from you tuned guys/girls.




Thank you

I had my car tuned by oe tuning three months after i got my car which is a three year lease. I have about 5 months to go on the lease.
Zero problems stemming from the tune itself. Just like oem but much faster. Zero issues or mentions of a tune even being done when the car is serviced at the dealer. Just had the starter replaced under warranty.
I would recommend this tune without second thought. For me on a lease it was the equivalent of a couple bucks a month.

That's good to hear, Do you know if oe drills the ecu?

I think they did then but don't have to now. Not sure call them.
Ps 34k miles on tune.

Anyone have RENNtech?

stevel8206

Any long term Renntech users?

30k on a Renntech wagon. spark plug replacement, but otherwise trouble-free.

stevel8206

That's great news, At what mileage did the spark plugs need to be swapped and how long have you had your tune?

Patric

Unless a person changes the plugs themselves, I'm wondering if a MB dealer would be curious as to why the plugs needed to be changed and possibly check the tune?

BrabusNYC

You put 30K miles on in a year?

Traffic53

no! heck no.

Traffic53

tune was installed at time of new delivery. i want to say we replaced plugs at 10k and 20k miles. not remembering exactly. i did try a set of the cooler Renntech plugs and found them to be not worth it in my case. i don't run the car very hard.

Patric

Curious if you got their intermediate or full tune and whether or not you did a base line dyno before the install? I have been talking to them but still on the fence, thanks.

stevel8206

I'm also curious if you went with the intermediate tune. Are you happy with the tune and how much longer to you expect to keep your car, also how do you know when you need new plugs?

Glad to hear you still love the car!

We also have one of the best warranties in the market!!

Full tune and downpipes with high-flow cats. no, car was not dyno'd, as it only had 20 miles on it when it went to Renntech. Still haven't dyno'd it. I can tell you this...the motor took about 20-25,000 miles to really break in and start getting good gas mileage, so i assume it is probably now making it's best power. just a guess. Renntech is good if you ask me. little pricey, but well researched and well supported. top level quality and attention to detail.

i'm very happy with the tune, and even happier with the sound that comes from the downpipes. car sounds better than i had even imagined it could. these m157 motors use plugs. you'll know when the car throws a code saying so. simple check engine light, but you'll need the shop to confirm the code.
