Default Re: Eurocharged feedback-TCU question

I Had it in my car for a while (now my son's SLK32), and had intended on doing some data logging to coroborate the disfuntion that Steve had seemingly suffered through with it, but I ended up moving that logging set-up to my other SLK32 and the TCU to the shelf. One of these days when I have nothing else going on, I will check it out on the SLK32 I use now.

Steve's complaints were related to both how it shifted and how it interacted with the ECU.
When I did drive it some (before putting it on the shelf), I noticed some of the shifts (up and down from second IIRC) were a bit harsh on occasion.
So, I can't say I'd recommend the Tune that is on that TCU .... Maybe they've improved it since then.

One other thing that concerns me is it seems EC was unable to return Steve's TCU to stock (adding a layer of frustration to the whole debacle).

Hopefully, Steve will chime in and point out if I've inadvertently revised history here.

Cheers,
Chris
You are so delicately diplomatic! You should become an ambassador to somewhere.
