    The Roger Penske Detroit deal to Mercedes was in large part because Mercedes wanted the DDEC technology for their MTU engines.

    Catalina,
    I don't know what kinda "issues" you had with Mercedes, I had a Mercedes only shop for many years. The early 1990's had wiring issues from biodegradable insulation, the early 2000's CAN bus systems were another. Since the late ott's early teens the cars are much better.

    In the trade BMW is known to be a high maintenance brand AKA Bavarian Manure Wagons. The battery issue may be reinitalizing stuff? On many Mercedes there are two batteries, a system battery and a starting battery. The starting battery won't affect the systems status.

    So, are you saying you can walk through the gene pool barefoot and not get the top of your little toe wet while staring up at the family tree that strangely looks like a telephone pole?

    Catalinaflyer if you want an honest answer as to what may or may not need reprogrammed, I could give you the # to a friend of mine (and my best man in my wedding to my 1st wife) who is a Mercedes tech and has his own shop out in Tucson.

    I had an 85 500SEC AMG wide body that was a gray market car. The issues I had with it were a constant, seemed weekly, need for ignition components. Then some heater valve thing that had something to do with the windshield went on walkabout which rendered the whole heating system awol. Loved the car, was an amazing ride and years ahead of anything domestic as far as amenities but much like the Bavarian Manure Wagon I have now, I needed weekly visits to your Mercedes specific shop for the little things that always seemed to be wrong with it.

    Today’s sissy common rail pilot injection crap is a travesty by comparison.
