    Emira 2.0 I4 AMG CEL Analysis: Exhaust Valve Faults and Driving Adjustments

    @HankRS225 So, I believe I just finally resolved this issue with my Emira and wanted to share. I've attached 3 photos to this post. The one with the yellow arrow shows the issue, and is pointing to a spring-loaded disc in the exhaust valve actuator assembly. It is very hard to get great photos...

    Who has Milltek's Active Controller Installed?

    I found the easier way to verify the buttons is to do the testing with the bottom panel off. You can look up and into the valve and clearly see the mechanism rotate. When you press #1 it rotates fully counterclockwise and gets loud, then press #2 and it rotates maybe 1/4-1/2 turn clockwise, and...

    Emira 2.0 I4 AMG CEL Analysis: Exhaust Valve Faults and Driving Adjustments

    I have the exact same error codes. The CEL comes on if I let the car do the shifting during a hard acceleration and I can usually avoid it by just driving the car in manual mode. However, my CEL goes away after a few days if I drive it less aggressively/manually. I've taken it to the dealer and...

    Anyone get a P13C2 or P246B code?

    I haven't touched the exhaust or the controller. I've pulled power from the battery before, but that's it.

    Anyone get a P13C2 or P246B code?

    I've got both of these codes right now and can't find a consistent definition for the issue. Taking it in next week but curious if anyone's run into this before and what the resolution was.

    Selling my Michelin Sport Cup 2s

    It wasn't so much about the temps, but early spring here is super wonky. It'll be in the 30s at night and early morning, then get like mid-80's during the day. But, I daily the car and will continue to do so in winter (expect when snow is on the ground), and some of the roads I drive on are less...

    Selling my Michelin Sport Cup 2s

    I just got my tires swapped out and now have a set of Sport Cup 2s (with 800 miles on them) looking for a new home. They are from the i4 Emira, so sizes are 245/35 ZR20 and 295/30 ZR20. They've only been used for street driving, so they are in pretty decent shape. They retail new for $2k, so...

    The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

    If anyone is looking for a US vendor that isn't a total ripoff, I just got mine from AWD Motorsports via eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/194365645355 https://www.ebay.com/itm/196051481360 Just installed them today and they are a perfect fit. Drove about 20 miles so far and they are so much nicer...

    Adding a subwoofer

    I stand corrected. A friend of mine rode in the car and immediately asked why fake engine noise was being pumped into the cabin. I snipped the wire and drove it again and wow, what a difference. It's like an entirely different car. Gonna pay attention to the sound system more tomorrow and see if...

    Adding a subwoofer

    Honestly it's hard to tell. Even in tour mode there is a subtle vibration, but the whole car feels like that, not just the sub. I feel like unless I hear the car with the wire snipped, I'm not gonna know the difference. Next time I'm back there I'll play around with the green wire and see what...

    Adding a subwoofer

    T Great question. I'm still in my break-in period, so I haven't taken it out of tour mode yet. I haven't noticed any fake engine noise or rumbling on the sub yet. I did not snip any wires. For those who have noticed the fake noise, is it specific to a driving mode? I listen to bass heavy death...
