Re: Missig Bhp Back (maybe) Hi All I think I am back!! (Maybe) ;) MotorAid checked both pumps on my car and found the AMG (Bosch) pump not working at all! so only the smaller BRABUS pump was operating and its job is to only pumping the water around the smaller additional charge cooler, the...

Re: Charge Cooler Pumps

Just came of the phone from speaking to BRABUS in Germany, the technical person I spoke to was very helpful, among the things he suggested was to send the ECU to them and they will remap it for free as during the cars life Mercedes Benz may have upgraded the software during a service, clearing...

Thanks for your reply I was told that if the tempreture is to high the ECU will pill back the power in order to prevent "Detonation" I am told by DMS that the idle temperature should be around 43C and under load around 55C, from my research I have found out that these 55 Kompresor engines...

My car has 31.000 miles, it last had a main dealer service 3,000 miles ago. this issue only came to light when my friends CLS55 AMG was creeping up besides me from 90 mph - 140 mph and I could not shake him off until his limiter kicked in. BRABUS SL K8 PERFORMANCE 0-60mph 4.1 550bhp @ 6200rpm...

Hi all , I have a 2003 SL55 AMG Based BRABUS SK55 K8, I would like to find out if anyone knows what the "Charge Air Temperature" for a standard SL55 AMG should be, I recently had my car put through the STAR diagnostics and my "CHARGE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR" and "INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR"...

Hi, can you tell me do you find it hard to keep up the up-keep? and how often do you drive you car?

I normally clean my wheels then use a metal polish like Autosol at the end of every day it gets driven, but once I had to take my car to my MB main dealer, on the way there it rained heavily so by the time I arrived there my wheels were filthy, anyway my car stayed there for a week without being...

Are your wheels bare metal? and do you polish and or wax them? or just wash, wipe and go?

Yeah that right, tell me do you remember the Ford Tickford Capri, it had a 2.8 Litre V6, Twin Turbo!!! I think It was converted by a division of Aston Martin (Tickford) very Fast!!!

Oh no, it get's parked in a garage during the week and it only comes out during the weekend.... if the weather is good!!!

Well....I did buy an ice cream but it was for me, the good thing is that it did get a good suntan!!!! :bigsmile:

Oh Yeah, I remember that car, 2.0 Turbo, I think the 0-60 time was around 6.0 seconds or so, one of the poster adverts compared the performance to an Aston Martin model of the day but I can't remember which one!

Trust me I have had a few very close escapes, belive me I do try not to drive fast but the power surge is very addictive!!

Thanks, I am in search of the "Holy Grail" of polishes and waxes, I have tried several over the years, I had always been an "Autoglym Super Resin Polish" user for over 20 years but recently I have tried Zymol, Turtle Colour Match Polish, MER and Maguires, I have recently started "Claying" with a...

Yeah, you are right, it is a wild animal and I can't seem to tame it no matter how hard I try, the trick is to have a very, very light foot (which I don't often have) it can be quite docile, but forget yourself just for a moment and you could be in trouble!!! Thanks for your coment.:bigsmile:

Sorry, I had made a mistake with the Http// :(it should be ok now!:)

What do many of you use for Polishing and Waxing and do many of you "Clay"

What do many of you use for Polishing and Waxing and do many of you "Clay" There are so many cleaning products and polishes and waxes on the market it is hard to work out which ones actually work. Are there any polishes that really will last more than 6 months? What about these 3 year...

Check and see if you are not over driving the input of the amplifier, what is the pre amp out voltage of your head unit and the line level input of the amplifier, you could be over driving the input of the amp, most people make the mistake of turning the gain up on their amps to the max which is...

Try your best to get a head unit with 6 pre outs, and even better if the head unit has a in built variable Hi and Mid crossover, that way you will have much more control over the sound and be able to adjust the sound to match your speakers, most multi channel amplifiers have built in crossovers...
