Do you need a DPF pipe for a Mercedes glk250?
Easily bolts in place of the factory DPF pipe and requires engine tuning from JR Auto Tuning. Allows wider range of engine oils. Leaves the stock front cat and flex pipe in place to minimize smell and keep the car quiet. For Off-Road Use Only, this is not street legal and you will not pass emissions testing.
Is there a warranty on a 2014 glk250?
The emissions system warranty is supposed to be for 8 years, but many emission parts are only covered for 2 years. We own a 2014 GLK250 and have not had any emissions problems. Only done 50k km though. I am however concerned because I noticed that for the first three annual services, the dealer used 5W40 MBspec229.5 oil.
Is the Mercedes glk250 BlueTEC DPF street legal?

How does a DPF work on a Mercedes Benz?
There is a pressure sensor which detects back pressure in the exhaust which is indicative of a restricted DPF (diesel particulate filter). There are cleaning cycles (regen cycles) which are suppose to give a blast of DEF fluid into the exhaust which apparently blast the particulates away, reducing the back pressure.
Are there any problems with the GLK 250 BlueTEC?
2014 – only issue was with keyless go (dealer replaced/re-synced my key). Approaching B service now. Both have been solid! Not one single warranty problem nor complaint with mine after 16K miles. I’d do it again in a heart beat. I have a 2013 GLK 250 (Canadian specs) After 14 months, 115,000 km no problems at all.

How does the EGR work on a GLK 250?
Basically it collects the “bad” particles in a filter and the EGR system will eventually require a regen where the DPF system will blast the filter with super heated exhaust to burn out the “bad” particles. It has been a nightmare system on diesel tractor trailers.
