Yeah... so do mufflers, bumpers or for that matter rules of the road. Seeing as being a gross polluter is obviously something you don't care about, that tells me everything I need to know about you.

Gross polluter😂😂😂 It ok to drive older generation diesel vehicles without dpf, but it not ok for newer generation vehicle to drive without dpf. Do you think people drive electric vehicles are better human being 😂😂😂 because they care about the environment and think they did the world a favour to create less pollution

2013 ML350 Bluetec, 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible (sold)
Quick update. Dealership (Mercedes Downtown Ottawa) called me and told me the CEL was for the leveling sensor inside the Adblue tank. Weird because I never got the Adbluec start countdown remaning. Anyway, I told them my timing chain was slightly rattling on cold starts and they suggested to replace the timing chain (I didn't have to argue to get it done). So the ML will be ready around Tuesday or Wednesday. All under warranty. Great service and I recommend that dealership. The only thing that sucks is that they won't lend me a loaner. I asked for one and they said no. Oh well... 
Also, I have a little oil leak from the oil cooler seals. I'll ask them for a quote since they're opening the engine to do the timing chain. If the quote is reasonnable, I'll tell them to change the oil cooler seals while they're at it. My 2013 ML350 Bluetec is at 270 000 km.
I still haven't received my cheque from the AEM that was done at the end of August. I suppose the wait time is 7-8 months?

I drive about 25K to 30K Kms a year and about 75% of it is on the highway. That's why I feel a diesel is right for me. Also yeah, I do get an oil change every 6K Kms so that shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks for the advice.

If you do get one, Make sure approved oil is used in every case, engine oil, transmission oil etc. only take it to a place that is familiar or understand diesel engine preferable Mercedes diesel. I have a 2009 R320 and I self maintained it with 298k kilometres. Owned now for 10yrs

And, if you have your DPF / SCR removed, why the hell are you trolling in the AEM & settlement section???

In that case it is probably an excellent buy and should last you a long time. They are built well and when used and maintained properly they should last for a long time. The fact that the bits that usually fail have been replaced and that you get a 4 year warranty on them is a huge bonus. A late model year diesel ML (2014 or 2015) should also have the updated Viton oil cooler seals, so I'd be looking for one of those or a vehicle that has had them replaced. They are arguably the only parts that would cost a few bucks to replace (mostly in labour), so if you get a car that was made near the end of the production run or has had them replaced with the Viton ones, it's a plus.

I filed my claim and attached all paperwork online back in March 2022 when the field measure work was done on my vehicle. Anyone knows how to check a status update because I never received any emails, updates nor any payments since. Thanks

If you are the only owner of the vehicle and had the AEM performed early, you should have received the cheque. If you are not the original owner (i.e. you bought the car used), they have to wait until after the deadline as the original owners were also entitled to compensation (if they file) that would come out of the total amount payable.

I received the payout for one of my diesel MLs that I bought new and still own, but have not received payout for another GLK that I also bought new but traded in shortly afterwards despite the fact that I filed almost a year ago (the filing deadline for previous owners was March 23, 2022). I am pretty sure that is also the case with the Sprinters (we have five and I don't think we got cheques for either of the two that we got used but did get cheques for the three that we bought new).

The definition of "long" in the legal profession is very different from what it means to you and me.

Im the second owner and just submitted the claim, I will update how long it takes for cheque to arrive.
If my theory is correct, it shouldn’t take long

Any unit with records of multiple owners will be delayed till deadline for previous owners to apply since this will impact the money allocation.

If you just submitted the claim now, I'd expect your cheque to arrive around October if past expediency is any indication of how quickly they process the claims.

Yes - and that deadline was March 23, 2022. In other words, they have already received all claims from eligible previous owners ten months ago.

02 Jan 2023 - Put in claim
24 Jan 2022 - Claim Approved email received
Process is moving as expected

I called around to a few of the other GTA dealers and one of them confirmed they have the parts in stock, despite what Midtown told me. Taking it in on Wednesday - hopefully what they're saying it correct as I have a few interested buyers waiting for this to be done..

2010 MB GL 350
Afternoon:
At the risk of getting some negative responses, I'd like to ask a question. I have a 2010 GL350 Bluetec. It has a delete kit, and has the DPF filter removed completely. I purchased it this way used. I've owned it for several years. Am I still able to get all this emissions work done? It's a legit question, as I'm wondering what my options are. Thanks!

was going to do the delete kit because of the problems...I'm now hearing problems after the field measure work they have done...no refund on the nox sensors already done 3 years ago...the delete kit may be the best way to go....how does it run? How's the fuel economy..any black smoke or smell from exhaust?
