HELP! Adblue remaining starts 0
We can’t start it now! could anyone please let me know if you know about a way to start it, so we don’t have to pay the expensive tow charge. I brought this 2015 GLK250 recently for my son as he really wanted a GLK even it’s a discounted model, one month ago, there was CEL and the code was DPF below performance sometime like it, I sent it to MB dealer, paid $600 diagnosis fee so this dealer was able to claim warranty for DPF successfully, I took the car back as the parts was back order and would take a few months. According to my son, he saw the CEL on and off by itself and suddenly Adblue remaining starts 16 showed up when started the car, he didn’t pay much attention as he was told to ignore the warnings, now we just can’t start it as starts is 0. I found this forum and readed whole bunch of discussions but I could not find a method to start a starts 0 GLK, I have refilled about 18L DEF (was over flowed a bit, the DEF tanks is full now). Any input would be appreciated!

Tow it back to the dealership and show them. They need to start working on it now, not later, since they approved it as a warranty claim. Then they give you a loaner until your vehicle is fixed.
It's probably a good idea to get MB corporate involved as well.

Sorry I didn’t describe it clearly, the warranty claim was for CEL (Check Engine Light) issue for the defective DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), I was told $4k cost for this parts so I was happy and paid $600 diagnostic fee. But I googled Adblue, it seems Adblue remaining starts message is not related to DPF, please correct me if my understanding is wrong

I have to apologize again, I did see the fancy module but I really can't or at least not modify my GLK before warrantied DPF replacement (this costs few thousand dollars in Canada), I'm actually EE (Electronic Enigneer) and being very familiar with hardware circuit and softwar program stuff, I probably will do something to my 2015 GLK once it's running stable and when I got more acknowledges about Bluetec

You do not need the OBD2 module, it can be done with gas paddles and ignition switch. You just have to follow the sequence. Of course, you can always use the obd2 module to reset it

Update - I have reset the Adblue remaining counter
I didn’t tow my 2015 GLK to dealer, I called dealer and was told that reset Adblue counter was not a free service and I would have to pay 1-2 hours diagnosis, the service advisor was in believing that there must be a faulty in Adblue system otherwise Adblue counter would reset by itself after few trips.
I ended by bought a tool and xentry software hard drive from vxdiagtool.com, paid $399 in total and DHL was so amazing, only 38 hours to bring the box from HongKong to my door. Xentry software was not that user friendly but I figured out and found the reset Adblue counter in menu, everything is good now

I am also interested on which one you purchased. I skimmed through their website and can’t exactly figure out how to configure what is needed.
appreciate if you can give us insight on your item list from that site.
cheers!

Mercedes scanner
You are wrong. The ad blue starts is the entire emission system. Anything wrong with it will cause the countdown. For example I had a fuel pressure problem, which technically is a part of emissions, and I got the countdown. You have 2 options, take it to the dealer and they will reset it, or get a Mercedes scanner and reset it yourself. Good luck.
which odb2 scanner will reset “engine start remaining ”?
