Good video. I got a 2013 x204 gasoline version with over 125k miles and keep going. Very reliable and relatively cheap on maintenance and easy to repair. No broke downs, only the usual maintenance and tear and wear.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one with these issues. Mine also had an ignition lock issue that I had to fix.

Thanks for the video. For a while I've been thinking about getting one, after a lot of research, Im going for it. 🤩

Have a 2014 I bought used in 2016. Still going strong in 2024 @ almost 90k miles. Have had almost no issues. Best car I've ever owned. With regular service it just keeps on going. Rock solid & reliable.

Thank you for making this video, I just purchased a GLK! Nice to know what to keep an eye out for from someone who has owned it

Planning one buying one for my growing family I was thinking of a newer GL but I just love the lines on these 2010is- 15 glk’s

The reason i really like this car is because how well it drives after 11 years. It has just enough electronic tech to make it a modern car but not too much to make it “dealer services only”. We have 2010. Besides normal maintenance and transmission mount replacement (normal for glk/c), we had steering module failure - that chip was expensive and had to be programmed. The cost was $1.2k if I remember correctly. Great car, easy to drive, looks great. We have the premium, tech, and appearance packages. It is driven daily, garaged, waxed occasionally and look like a 2 year old car. It is also distinct vs all other round shape compact suvs.

Got mine brand new 2012. Had to have the whole car repainted 2 years in, the “mars red” had a defect that made it peel off in cold weather! Otherwise been a dream car. Currently at 107,000, about to follow your video and change the spark plugs since it’s been throwing a code

Thanks for the review, I'm looking into buying one with 149,353 miles on it.

If you ever change front differential and especially transmission fluid change (with torque converter) please take a video and post for us! Thank you!

Thanks for the video 💪

Great video! I own a 2010 GLK 350 4 MATIC with 220,000 miles as of October 2021. I definitely have benefited from your DIY videos. On the 4 MATIC I had a front wheel drive shaft issue that required replacement ($1,200). No fuel pump/filter issues as of yet. Most fluid changes have been DIY with exception of transmission. Thanks to your videos brakes are DIY now too. I'm running the original serpantine belt and pullys - mechanic has inspected and show little serious wear. The low beam headlight bulb - especially drivers side has been a real pain - just getting access. Inside the car, the rotary knob for the Merceded Command system has failed - as widely reported by others. I work around it since its not worth the $500 to replace. My sunroof/sunshade now refuses to open - a suspected control module or relay failure - and quote was $1,000 to fix - again, not worth it at this point. The engine itself is is great shape - smooth - despite needing new engine mounts. I plan to soldier on with my GLK as its my daily driver. Any suggestions from your perspective would be welcome! Nice job on your videos. Some of the best DIY on YT!

198,000 miles on my 2010 GLK350. Replaced all brakes pads at 180,000, not because they were worn, but because I gave the car to my wife. Major work has been the engine mounts and the steering wheel locking system. Other than that, regular maintenance. Great car!

Good stuff!

Gracias por tu contenido, me sirvió bastante

I have 2010 GLK with 110K miles. The computer needed to be changed, door actuators (both driver and passenger), steering lock, front and back brake pad and disk, engine mounts, intake manifold, spark plugs, multiple low beam bulbs, wiper, regular oil changes (5K) & transmission fluid changes (50K), passenger seat has a tear from use (patched it up). I also had the belt replaced as a maintenance item at 100K. The Car drives very smooth and is on its third set of tires. I plan to keep it for 50K miles more.

Got mine brand new in 2013 135k miles later never had any engine problems only thing I have ever change is the brake and rotors and this is me driving it like a race car always heavy on the gas pedal

Just bought one

My 2012 GLK350 with 133000 miles recently started having some shifting issues (722.9 Automatic Transmission). Shifting used to be so smooth that you couldn’t feel the shifting. Now, 3rd to 4th gear shift is a little out of sync with the engine rpm change. Sometimes there’s a clunk/jerk with downshifting if I slow down by coasting uphill. Have you had or heard of any issues like this? From my research, it seems like the common problem is with the TCM (transmission control module) which is integrated into the conductor plate on this transmission. Thank you very much for your videos!

Great Video! My GLK350 is making a quiet rattling noise when accelerating around 30mph. I'm at 126k miles. What could this be?

Where is best place to get parts? Oriels? Or Amazon or Benz direct? Thanks for making these

Great resource for DIY, Could you please upload video how to fix leak on wind shield reservoir and change low /high beam lamps or have you tried changing to LED on GLK 350 2010 Thank you

How about doing one on changing headlight bulbs?

Hello. I have a 2010 Mercedes-benz Glk350 and what is the best way to replace the power seat motor when the cable breaks? Also, do you know how to manually move the power seat?

Any major differences in maintenance/wear items on the GLK 250? I plan on getting rid of all the dpf stuff.

Hi about 4 years ago I hit a pot hole - front right wheel. The wheel cracked a bit and I had to replace it with an used one. Ever since then I hear a humming when my speed is more than 50-60 mph. Any tips on how to troubleshoot? Thanks

Purchased one at 166k miles and 2 weeks later my ECU went out lol. 2k. I was fine with it bc I know this is a good vehicle

I want one so bad, looking at a 2013 model from carmax. Just worried about the maintenance and repairs. I was going for an rx360 but suddenly I want a Mercedes.

194,000 on my 2010 GLK here! Had it since 169,000. Perfectly reliable. Mine has had a very minor lifter tap at idle as long as I’ve owned it. Any thoughts on a fix? As soon as it rev’s above 800-900 RPM, totally disappears. I’ve had a check engine light as long as I’ve owned as well. Neither of these things have ever affected the car that I can tell, really enjoy it!

I have the 2013 GLK 350 w/ 90k miles now. so afraid of what might happen $$$$. My biggest issue right now is there does not seam to be a phone mount that will work. I came really close to finding one that went in the round vent, but the hooks weren't long enough for it to lock on and it eventually fell. A friend suggested super glue. I appreciate this DIY videos! Thanks for posting! Anyone with suggestions of a phone mount that will work??

friend, do you have any idea in which part of the car I can adjust the emergency brake?

My break lights are out it’s not the lightbulbs it’s a fuse therefore I don’t know which one is or located at can you do a video thank you

My tail light will not turn off. The right side. WTH 🤦‍♀️???!!! It didn’t kill my battery but it was on all day at work and now I’m home and it won’t turn off. Keys out of ignition and it’s still glowing. HELP!!

I have a 2012 , the same I think, ac and now heating, something work something not , did you know why . Also motor mounts, I read that they need to be replaced every 80 k miles , my car has 153k and vibration it’s getting worse, on my 4 matíc calls for 9 hrs labor , did you done yours?

I have a 2011 glk 350 and it's starting to have more and more issues (expected) the one I have now though after replacing the thermostat (didn't do anything) is strange. IF I'm on the highway AND use the defrost/air - the temp dial will surge and the engine belt/fan will go to max. No idea what the issue is or even how to diagnose.... pain in the butt as winter is rolling in for me.

looking at a 2014 glk 350 for 10k. It has 120k miles. I s that a good price? How is the ride in this? Is it as smooth as a large suv like a traverse, pathfinder, Acadia? I don tneed that much size anymore since kids are grown but have become accustom to riding high and smooth! Do you sit low like a Subaru outback? Kia sedona? Thats what my daughters have and I feel like I am riding pretty low in theirs! How expensive and complex are they to work on? How does it compare to a cadillac srx?

I got a 2010 w 140k. At 135k I was driving to Vegas, u joints whistled for about 5 seconds, blew up, and disconnected the drive shaft. $3000 repair, very unfortunate very random. Still love the car though

Just subscribed! I’m considering buying a 2012 glk350 less than 90k miles asking $13k. 2 owners no accidents, been maintained in Mercedes’ dealer. I test drove the car and found out while acceleration is very smooth, very slow, assuming due to its heavy weight and bulky shape?

Can you list the prices that you paid in the description? Thanks

299,875km still a beast ain’t stopping

Looking for glk350 diy . Can someone send me a link pls

I have a small leak on the drivers side up front on my GLK. It’s thin liquid brown. Any ideas?

Can you help me out. I want you to help me buy a very 2015 glk

Air pump failed 2 times each year,can’t take albertas winter

I have a 2012 glk 350 4matic with 71,000 miles, and my problem now is, every time I stop the car, it vibrates, only when the car is idle, but when I drive the car is perfect, no rumbling at all. I have no check engine light on or anything. What could be the problem? And is it expensive?

What about a starter on it ? Can’t seem to find anyone change it on glk models

Mine is 2011. at about 130000 miles drive shaft broke.

My mercedes has vibration when it is in stop or reverse, what can I do, thanks

Obviously most of the things you named were pretty common maintenance items on all vehicles brakes rotors wheel bearings occasionally serpentine belt this is all stuff that's gonna break on every car just my opinion

Wow your car is a mess inside.

Too much for a German car...but not for a Japanese car

99% of cars have electric fuel pumps..

Why do your hands look so weird dude.
