  1. After you brought it up and after I did some research, it seems that it might be the one responsible for the problem. I had the map removed the week before last, and I've been in touch with MSL to try to schedule an appointment for it so that they can potentially map it correctly for me. I am grateful for your response.
  2. Good day to everyone - I'm new around here, so if you could possibly be patient with me? I have recently purchased a 2017 C43 estate, and given the success I had mapping my previous C220d, I wanted to try the same thing with my new car. To begin, I got a stage 1 remap from Celtic tuning, and I have to say that, in terms of performance, I was quite happy indeed with both the throttle responsiveness and the overall performance increases. After playing it for a few weeks and getting accustomed to it, I began playing it more quickly and in manual mode, and that's when I spotted a huge problem... so here we go! as I was in Sport+ and using the manual transmission, I would give it a vigorous acceleration through the gears, and the car would take off. However, as I would get into 5th gear at roughly 4100 rpm and 94 miles per hour, the engine would lose power and not go much further than that. If you shift into sixth gear, it will continue to behave the same way, i.e. it will stay at roughly 3600 rpm and will not increase any more. In the beginning, it would only do it when set to manual or Sport+ mode, but as time went on, it began doing it even when it was set to automatic, although to a lesser extent. Then, just very lately, it began to do it in the Sport and manual modes, but not in the automatic mode. There was no impact on any of the other engine modes, either manual or automatic. In an effort to find a solution to this problem, I contacted Celtic, and together we attempted the following: Remove the map from its case and reload it into the vehicle. Nothing changed despite using it in a variety of weather situations and at various stages of driving, such as after a short run, a medium run, a long run, and so on. Tested the configurations using the individual mode. Nothing I tried worked, and the problem persisted even after I removed the map, so I decided to test whether the vehicle itself would be the cause of the problem. However, the car is operating normally in all of its modes and settings. Celtic said that it is a frequently used map, but they have never had any problems with it. Since I purchased the super unleaded gasoline in September of last year, I have used it exclusively ever since, so that explanation is out of the question. Has anybody come across this before, or has any idea what it may be?
  3. In spite of the fact that I had some misgivings about them in the past, I believe that at this time I would choose GAD.
  4. I have a 200tdi, and once they're fixed up, they're pretty rare. Rebuilt at 200,000 miles, and the frames were still pretty good, taking everything into account.
  5. As previously stated, the 200tdi is the superior engine in the long run. For potency, the TD5 is superior to the 200tdi, but it will require greater maintenance. Both are positive and negative. A matter of course.
  6. The advice to "get one that fits comfortably" is among the best of the aforementioned remarks. It is really beneficial to try them on first. The only other recommendation is to look for one with a detachable lining since these can simply be removed, cleaned, and replaced when they start to smell. If everything else fails, invest in a fireproof baclava, which is another fire defense that is clearly simple to clean.
  7. In my experience, this is the case the vast majority of the time. It is unfortunate because the consumer ultimately endures. A vx220 that had been "stage mapped" by a specialist was, to put it mildly, abominable. I'll have to check to see if I have the graph from when we had it on the rollers; it is, to say the least, amusing. Boost was scattered everywhere.
  8. As a general rule, if a map contains the word "stage," it is not a decent map.
