Great stuff...talking about power booster. Has anyone tried X1-R (made in USA and NASA endorsement) EON95 boosted to EON98. If full tank, would save about $18 (based on diff pump price between EON95 with EON98,

I was at KSL City (JB) fortnight ago and this salesperson was promoting and got a free sample btl. Have try as yet. Afraid it might cause engine trouble inspite of USA product and NASA tested/certified

Enjoy your weekend...mike

Could it be just like those fuel addictives? I used Mercedes fuel addictive around $20 per bottle before. Dun really feel much difference using it with ron95.

I just replaced my intake manifold with an oem unit. I will have the say the car is noticeably more powerful from standstill and at lower rpm (which is most of the time the rpm which I drive at)

Because of the higher power I feel that i give less throttle input when requiring to accelerate or climb uphill. I'm looking at about 10L/100km consumption now. Down from 11.5-12L/100km

I think it's worth it. Almost like a power upgrade. 

Following up on this after a full tank of fuel. 

Maybe I'm getting more heavy footed, the traffic that I go through these days are quite usual 

There seems to be not such a large improvement after replacing the manifold. 

Before replacing I'm getting 8.6km/l (11.6l/100km)

After replacing and running a full tank of fuel the recorded fuel economy is 9.1km/l  (11.0l/100km)

Power still noticably better between 1.5-2k rpm. Just to update so that those who consider to replace can do proper math.

10 to 11l per 100km is seriously very impressive! Wow.

I'm still consistently getting 10-11. Very rarely I get 9.something. so full tank of 90L can travel 1000km

Hi, I've just got a W221; wondering is there meetups for S classes specifically or a general meetup for the Merc community only.

We have a mega meet up coming 16th Dec. Do join us

That time u got this error. How you solve it?

[dyeeng]

bro wings17, believed its the front airmatic kaput liao...do visit one of the recommended WS (Zen Auto-Ah hui / Chip Soon Auto - Daniel). But ask for a thorough diagnostic first.

One side front airmatic would probably set you back by 500-800$...

New to this forum. I am also seriously considering to do likewise for a COE W221. How has the (short) experience be so far?

I got this same problem a few month back. I have the sit sensor changed by Jason of Chip Soon Auto.
