@artim808 Yes I successfully loaded the performance tune late last week, but I've been too busy enjoying the added torque. The Moose really gets going now after being fully unleashed. We did a weekend trip and I noticed a small bump up in fuel economy numbers as well, but I need more fill-ups to confirm. Specifically about the idle: it's exactly the same as before. It starts right up, idles smoothly but has a somewhat throatier sound (not louder, just a wee bit difference in tone). The only time I've noticed a slightly elevated idle speed was on an active regen and while sitting at a stoplight.
This is the website information from my local tuning shop - ECUprogram in calgary
I have been a forum member for a long period of time. Somehow i forgot my user name and password to login whenever I tried to make this post. Anyway, I have seen many members asked if it possible to get the GLK DPF/SCR/EGR delete in the past. Recently, I have found a tuning shop in my local area and completed this modification. To begin, I would like to show the website that I found which makes me super interest and exciting about this modification.
So for the price of $1099 CAD i can have a stage 2 tune and increase 60 HP and 40 TQ?!?!?! Yes that is correct for the tune! But you have to get the DPF delete kit, which is $799 CAD and approximately 5 hours of labour to install the DPF delete kit. The total cost for me for this modification was about $2,500 CAD. But man! the difference of the power and how the vehicle perform was day and night!
First of all, my GLk250 currently at 115000 km. I did not purchase the extended warranty which is another factor that pushed me to complete this modification. I had my DPF filter replaced at 50,000km under the factory warranty. I also had my NOX sensor replaced at 60,000 km, again, under the factory warranty. These two repairs always makes me worry about the cost for the long term ownership for the GLK250. According to the dealer invoice, the DPF replacement was about $4,000 CAD and the NOX sensor was about $800. There are no way I can afford these kind of expansive emission repairs and I do love my GLK250 and planning to keep to drive for a long period of time. So ever since then, I have been doing a lot of research and see how I can deal with this problem.
During my research, I found a lot of diesel truck owners and VW jetta owners completed a DPF/SCR/EGR delete. But unfortunately, I cannot find any DPF delete information regarding with our GLK. Hopefully my posting will help the fellow GLK owner if they decide to proceed with the DPF delete. I called around in Calgary area and see if any shops willing to do a DPF delete for my GLK. There were multiple of them informed me that there are no dpf kit available for my GLK and most of the shops are not familiar with Mercedes. Until I found Sam from ECUprogram! Oh man! He is like a diesel expert! He told me is possible to do it, but he never worked on a GLK before. Like I never met a mechanic that is honest like him. He told me he was able to help me delete my DPF and SCR, disable the EGR valve, which makes the modification is completely reversible whenever I decide to sell my vehicle.
After the modification and tune completed, my GLK feels like a brand new vehicle with lots of power! It almost feels like the break is not good enough the for amount of power. It getting late at night now. I will post more pictures tomorrow! If you have any questions about this modification, please don't hesitate to ask me. I learned a lot about he GLK from this forum. Now i believe is my time to give back. Cheers !!
Both myself and a friend had our 2013 and 2014 GLK250’s done. BEST decision ever!! No more tank heater replacements and NOX sensors. Runs like at a top! Check out Neil at Saskatoon Imports!
Good decision, gents. For other Bluetec owners out there, know that you have additional options.
If you don’t want to remove the exhaust hardware but you DO want the after treatment devices turned down (not off 100%) so that you can always revert back to stock, OETuning offers the flash tool with a stage 1 tune good for 40hp and 60ish ft-lbs.
I’ve been running this tune for about 10k miles and am loving it. They run specials now and then, or they might offer discounts to MBWorld members.
Hey guys, I bought the DPF delete kit from https://www.rawtekinc.com/products/m...pr_seq=uniform
and installed it myself. It took me about 4hours of work. The hardest part was to unscrew de clamp that holds the pipe by the engine. Like someone has mentioned earlier, you do need three hands to remove that.
I then took it to a local shop and had it tuned twice. The car drives very good for a day but then the next day the check engine light comes on and there’s no power whatsoever...
any thoughts??

You’re in “limp home” mode. Go straight back to the shop that did the tune.
I went to the store and used their scanner and here is what was showing me. I’m taking the car back next week and see if this can be fixed. Did anyone run in this kind of issues with their GLK 250??
I bought a plug in obd2 module on eBay, full delete, and bought a pipe. I did the software outside of a repair shop, unhooked the computer for DEF, and cleared the codes. Took about 3 hours for the shop to do everything else. I do notice slightly less power off the line, I'm guessing because of the flaps delete. Definitely an increase in fuel economy, my best on a one hour drive being 5.4l/100km, and quite a few hills on the trip. No codes since, and everything has been great. Cost less than $2500 for everything, and would definitely do it again!
What exactly did you have the shop do? what Pipe did you use and did you remove the DPF and SCR Cat IF you have any photos that would be Nice too.
Thanks
Rawtekinc.com pipe, was under $700 American but almost $1100 Canadian by the time shipping was added. The obd2 full delete was over $1000, I see they have just one available. To apply the obd2 delete was simple, just follow the instructions on your stereo. I had the shop change the exhaust, the old exhaust was given back, with the sensors, and i can probably recoup $500. Here's the link for the delete https://www.ebay.ca/i/233188825627?u...rover%252F2%25
Hello, I have done the same at my w166 ml350bt. Egr delete, adblue delete, dpf delete and more power. What do you mean with "dpf delete kit"? I kutted my dpf open at the top and removed the filter, than welded together again,
The car run fine. But as i can see so far i have two dovnsides.
1, the exhaust smell / odor is a bit stronger than before,
2, if i drive on highway in 70kmh and press kickdovn (full trottle at once) the car smokes a bit black. No smoke else on normal driving, but at kickdown there is smoke,
Has the delete tune resulted in any smoke or diesel smell?
i have done this on my w166 ml350bt. No diesel smell, no smoke at normal drving. But on 100% kickdovn it smokes a bit black. The exhaust smell is also stronger, but no diesel smell.

Thanks KKarb! Did you also use the OBD2 delete tool from E-Bay?
graham_b, I’m interested to know if you have any smoke or diesel smell from the tune you purchased from e-bay?
If the wind is the right way you might smell smoke on start up, but overall it's rare i notice it. As far as seeing it, maybe in a cold start on a cold day, but i use a cat diesel at work, and a cold start on a cold day leaves about 30 seconds of heavy white smoke so I'm guessing that's just a cold diesel. Overall mostly smoke and smell free

quebec city. the programming change for delete egr, floppy, adblue and pfd sensor differential pressure tooks 20mins. Ffor extrat the pfd and remove the filter inside and reweld it + replace it is 3 hours. You need a good welder because the stainless housing of the filter is thick as a canadian 10 cents.
I know it is a old post but i live in quebec,
Would like to know where did you get the job done?
Thank you very much
I am getting the delete done on my glk250. what can you recommend during this process? also, is there anyway i could get the measurements for the pipe?

most shops should be able to perform the removal and install of the new exhaust, as for the programming get the OBD programmer and an android and do it yourself, my wife did ours and when I go home I’ll change out the exhaust...
