Mercedes dieselgate

[Joe Bob]

I purchased a 2012 ML 350 in 2018. Gently used with 50 K. I did a due due diligence and didn't see any red flags. 8 months later the model was flagged as a smog cheater and what crappy smog controls weren't worth squat.

There was a class action lawsuit filed that "might" recover 50/100 on my repairs. Now the "fixes" that are mandated by US EPA and the lawsuit are fooking up the upstream devices like the EGR and nad nox devices.

Mercedes gave me an extended warranty on smog related devices. BUT I have to get them from Mercedes. The parts stream has been exhausted and the company will not allow third party provided parts from the same company.

FOOK Mercedes and the train they road in on on....

Move to a state that doesn't require emissions

The emissions BS malfunctions make the MPG go down the toilet.

Imho. Delete the car. Better mpg. Cleaner running for the engine. Or sell the car.

What type of emissions does your state do? Plug in the obd2 and check for fault codes, opacity, sniffer with actual ppm/ppb analysis, visual inspection? The original cheat put the car into a default Emissions tune when the computer realized all wheels weren't moving. Sounds like you got the software update....?

Not that you'd consider unloading it on an unsuspecting dealership (they're not always up to speed on this sort of issue), but the used car market is stronger than ever...
