Ertech.

I want to commend you on your actions, I think we all agree that no vehicle is worth more then someone's life, and in this case many lives. I hope you find your new wheels. Three cheers for your quick thinking.

For the publicity Mercedes would have received from your actions, they should be throwing a new car to you, or at least a heavily discounted one

Thanks guys
since I did all the work on my gl320 I am a little worried about the whole blue tech thing
are 2016’s problematic , like add blue, chain stretch , oil cooler etc...
thanks

I have a friend who just got a 2010 gl350 bluetech, he think it has more get up and go the my other friends 08 gl320. I drive a 08 gl450 myself, I was holding out for a diesel, but a deal came along I could not pass up. You only need to add the def every oil change. And don't get the cheap stuff. Better def works better.

WoW, Erick, Thank you, you're a lifesaver. No wonder you drive a Mercedes. I hope your insurance or the loser's insurance will either pay to fix your car or just let you keep it for parts and buy you another just like it that's comparable. I live many miles away from Montreal, but send my congratulations, respect and gratitude. I am sure those pedestrians are pretty happy with you as well! The Police should give you an honorary medal and an honorary luncheon with champagne and smoked salmon. If they don't, let me know and I'll send you some.
