As others have already pointed out, the mileage „scam“ at the 3:05 Minute marker is nothing but the US mileage on the odometer measured in kilometers by the vehicle‘s ecu. European cars in general do all their internal accounting in kms not miles. This is true for BMWs, Mercedes, Audi etc. Stuff like this is exactly why I rarely watch Scotty Kilmer. There are so many less hyped up, more realistic car KZfaqrs out there.

Just a few observations about the glk. Scan tool mileage is in kilometers, 1st verify your unit of measurements or your diagnostics can be very wrong. 2nd that engine is known to have balance shaft issues and the fix is nowhere near the cost of replacing an engine.

These Mercedes glks are actually very decent vehicles and pretty reliable if you maintain them. Scotty gives a bad rap to Mercedes sometimes, some of their vehicles aren't the greatest but that's with any vehicle. Some of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned were Mercedes. I had one that drove for 700,000kms!!! (483,000miles) and got rid of it only because it started having electrical problems. I managed to sell it for a decent price because the motor was still going hard!!!! Wasn't showing any signs of dying! At 700,000km!!!! So I do love Mercedes-Benz. That company has been good to me so far
