2015 E250 Bluetec
There is no double dipping. If a previous owner makes a claim then their award is deducted from the current owner’s award.
I wonder under what circumstances previous owners can make a claim. As they don’t own the car and won’t suffer the modifications I don’t see how they’re deserving of any compensation. Maybe if they sold the car after the settlement announcement?

2012 GL 350
So guys, help me with a strategy. I bought a 2012 GL 350 back in 2013 from the original owner. I still own the car, but earlier this year I brought it with me to Finland. I still have a US address since this is a temporary move (3 years), but I have to believe that when I registered the car here, that they let PA (at the least) and perhaps DOT, that the car was exported. I assume that I can still get some money, but is installing this new hardware required to get the check?

How to proceed with repairs?
Dealer says I need both NOx sensors replaced at a cost of around $1500. Should I wait and see if I can get them replaced under a new warranty as a result of the settlement?
What damage may result from letting the check engine light remain on?
Also, I plan on doing the delete eventually. I suppose I could do it now but I’m thinking I should keep it stock until the scandal blows over. In the mean time I’m going to change the oil every 3000 miles to keep it from sludging.

Depending on who you talk to and read about on the internet......some where by 3000 miles, while others have no problem running the 10,000 miles. But then it also depends on what type of driving one is doing. If it's all stop and go city driving, I would be changing it at 3000-5000. But if it was all highway miles the 10,000 is fine. Just depends. But I send my oil off and have it tested, other's here will swear up and down they know better than oil samples and that 3000 miles is the hard line.

It is not the EGR but blowby is the reason why the oil is dirty and causing sludge. EGR will clog your intake manifold.

You’re right. Lawsuit has nothing to do with EGR. Back to the topic.
The modification will be mandatory or optional? Daimler will be installing new copper catalyst. Is this additional to DPF? Does it mean that after the modification bluetec car will have catalyst, DPF and SCR?

Thanks for explanation. Whats the difference between existing SCR and new copper SCR? They can just reprogram ECU to inject DEF fluid all the time, what's the reason for SCR replacement?

I submitted my info on the website about 9 months ago. it takes me to a message site where it says the final approval is coming on Jan 25, after which we are scheduled to receive written instructions via snail mail.

2009 GL 320
Don't know if this link has been posted yet: https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/daim...t-faqs#lessees
I have a 2009 GL 320 and it shows that potentially the new AEM component updates will be:
So new DPF I guess?
I have a 2009 GL 320 and it shows that potentially the new AEM component updates will be:
- Software Update
- New copper catalyst, DOC, DPF
- New NOx sensor
- New ECU
- New coolant thermostat (existing part A6422001915)
So new DPF I guess?
