reference resistor or R16/1...
hello all. i was wondering if this modification can be done on a 97 C280? "reference resistor or R16/1, it is a manually adjustable dial that allows you to retard your ignition timing" i have a stock C280 but was wondering if this resistor could be removed to improve performance? thanks!

Not on your car, only on cars with seperate ignition/fuel systems.

As a point of clarification, the USA (and perhaps all of North America) C280 does *not* have a reference resistor, however, European C280's do have the "dial-type".
It is very difficult to retrofit since the leads coming out of the ECU aren't there to "splice" into (I've checked with my 95 C36 ECU & harness vs. the European/Netherlands 95 C36 harness which has the "dial-type" reference resistor). Not only would you need the Euro wiring harness, but even the ECU may not have this "feature" activated. :-) neil
