I'm amazed how simple this looks. Mercedes are known for being expensive when things break, but my GLK seems so easy to work on. Easiest rear lamp replacement in a car I've seen. And I know that's small, but nice to see car maker making things easy for replacement
Yes and I agree!
great video...thx for sharing your experience with all of us who were hesitant that it could by a DIY project.
You’re welcome and thank you for watching. Can you like the video and thumbs up?
Great video! I'm so glad I found your channel. I have a 2010 with about 145,000 miles and I was so afraid this would be a huge pain to do. You took the fear out of it! Thanks!
Thank you for watching Michael. Please like the video and hit subscribe :-)
Man, thanks so much for these glk videos, gonna save me a ton. We just got ours back from getting the transmission replaced 😮. We love the car but the upkeep is steep! Hoping to DIY more on it. Auto subbed😊
They are good cars! Transmission is obviously a more involved service. Hopefully, some of these videos can help you with other stuff.
Glad I watched this! My module cover is cracked, I'm just gonna replace that and the gasket underneath. No need to change the pump if its good!
Exactly and well done!
I too see gasoline on my fuel pump cover when I removed the metal plate....assuming the fuel pump cover has a crack and its not the fuel pump itself. Need to change the cover and gasket.
Very good detailed video, I have a glk350 and now I know what you do if I have to replace the fuel pump in tank.
Great! Thank you and please like and subscribe to the channel
Thank you very much, just got a check engine light. When I put my scan tool its telling me I have a very fine leak in evaporative emission system. Plus I noticed when I fill up I smell gas, any way not sure if its the fuel pump or not but glad to see its not hard to replace, thanks again.
You’re welcome. Check the other side where your fuel filter is. The top module may be cracked. Are you leaking gas anywhere?
Not sure have to check, didn't cross my mind till the check engine light came on. I think its the pump or on that side, some were because I smell gas strong on the gas cap side. Also, did your abs and tac cut off when the check engine light came on. Thanks
@@jnc30001 Did you physically see gas leaking anywhere? My CEL etc. never turned on. I saw gas leaking with mine and smelled it. I changed both my fuel filter module cover and then the intank fuel pump and problem for me was solved.
@@512TXSDIY No but I will check again, but I do smell gas every time I fill up, I thought maybe I was putting to much at first. Now I hear the pump extra loud when I turn on the truck so I don't know.
@@jnc30001 Remove the rear seat and remove those two black panel caps on both side. We’re checking for leaks. I predict that the module cover is cracked and you will have gas sitting on top of it. Also check under your car on both side to see if there are visible leaks.
Thanks. Saved me some time

Yet, my 2015 GLK350 w/o PZEV is a different fuel pump w springs.
Question, im going to replace my fuel pump, thabks for the video. I have a 2012 glk350 4matic. I went to AutoZone to purchase the fuel pump, but theu have to different ones, one says fuel pump and strauner set $389 the other one is just a fuel pump $131. Do i need the strianer set? Or can i just purchase the $131 without the strainer set
Are you replacing the actual sending unit or just the pump?
@@512TXSDIY just the pump
What were the systems of needing a new fuel pump?
The most common one would be difficulty starting the car

Thank you Ryan. Make sure to like the video and consider subscribing.
what error code did the pump give? P0087?
I don’t recall, sorry!
My 08 E350 is PZEV. Dealer says I have to buy the tank, lines, everything for $2400. Can I buy the pump and change it? Any idea on pump I need to get or are the PZEV and non PZEV pumps the same? Why do they say the pump can’t be replaced on these?
Sorry to hear about your troubles. What exactly is wrong with your car? Do you have a gas leak somewhere? My GLK350 is with PZEV as well, which is a in tank electric fuel pump. Technically, the pump can be replaced like how you saw me do in this video. I too was told it was not serviceable when I took it in to see if it was covered under some kind of recall. Assuming your electric fuel pump is similar to mine, it is about $300 for a new one and $100 for a used one. Here is an example:

@@512TXSDIY The fuel pump went out. It had sporadically leaked a little(gas smell) previously. Dealer said the pump can’t be replaced on PZEV vehicles, I told them I would come get it. I am going to buy a new pump and replace it myself like you did in your vid.
Oh okay. Got it. It’s likely your electric fuel pump like mine in the video. You can get a new one or used one from eBay. That’s where I got mine from. Mine was $96 shipped.
Brad I had the same problem on my 06 E350. Turns out my car is a PZEV car too and PZEV Vehicles made for California have sealed fuel pump and cannot be changed. You have to replace entire tank. Luckily I found someone who replaces these gas tanks with a newer model unsealed tank that fit my car. Cost me $1000 for a used tank but car runs good! Also it’s worth to note that PZEV vehicles have 15 year warranty or 150k miles on any PZEV Emission part which includes the gas tank. Dealer won’t tell you. I had to do my own research. Sadly I was over by 150 miles and wasnt covered.

I have a question. My friend and I swapped the fuel transfer pump under the driver rear seat since it was cracked).When we turn on the car now, the fuel Guage says I'm on empty but I have lil over half a tank! What do you think the issue is? There's not much on the internet...
Did you replace the fuel sending unit or just the fuel filter?
@@512TXSDIY it says fuel transfer pump?
The fuel pump for this GLK is actually on the passenger side, not the driver is why I’m asking. The driver side has a fuel filter with a connecting tube to the passenger to transfer gas.
Same thing happened to me, did you figure out what was the problem?
Is this the same in the GLK 250 2015 model?
Should be
Where are you located
Austin, Texas
This vid is very misleading. PZEV fuel pumps are inside the tank and are non-serviceable. My W211 has no opening on the tank behind the passenger side.
Thank you for the comment. This DIY shows the fuel pump replacement.
You will note that on the PZEV fuel tanks, the E350 chassis has a removable window to access the RIGHT side fuel saddle where the fuel pump is, but notably, the fuel tank does not have an opening to service the RIGHT sided fuel pump. I suspect it is internal and cannot be serviced. The pump that you replaced on your CLS is the sending pump I believe on the LEFT side fuel saddle which sends fuel to the right side and then from the right side it is pumped to the engine. Maybe I am wrong here, and maybe the left sided pump is the only pump on this vehicle, but I doubt it. I think when the right sided fuel pump fails, its all over, the tank has to be replaced. Hard to believe MB would make such a wasteful design. Terrible engineering. I couldn't find the PZEV part anywhere for the 2007 W211 (E350) PZEV, and saw that your unit looks nearly identical, top of the housing has no lines, and has similar connector. So Im taking a gamble that this same part is in the E350 PZEV tank and will be compatible. Hopefully all PZEV's were the same in this era 2007-2013. Fingers crossed.
Driver side rear is the fuel filter and sending pump and passenger side is the fuel pump. This is a GLK but likely shares parts with CLS and other models
The part you replaced is not redundant with the e350 PZEV. The fuel pump in this model is internal to the right side saddle and not serviceable
You will know if you have the PZEV in your mercedes when you have only one access which is the left rear driver side. The right rear passenger side is sealed when you unscrew the black round cover and be surprised that there is no access to the fuel pump plus the fuel tank is metal and not plastic. I should know because I just replaced mine (2007 Manufactured date but sold 2008 that's why it would say 2008 Model). PZEV sign will be noticed on both the Driver side door & when you open the bonnet/hood ...it would be on the black sticker ID. If you have a metal fuel tank then you have the PZEV. I argued with Mercedes USA in New Jersey (HQ) that they should pay half of the cost due to the fact that any car owners in this planet don't need to change the whole tank ($2,400.00) just to replace the fuel pump ($300.00)!!! I told them this is a "design problem flow" and I will file a class action lawsuit. They do not even want to disclose how many units are like this in design flowed. They keep on pointing to the u.s. govt!!! I told them Subaru has PZEV features but no need to replace the tank when replacing fuel pump!!! Then they said they extended the warranty from 5 to 15 years and or 150,000 miles whichever comes first....REALLY? So if your car's fuel pump breaks down after 160,000 or 15 years ... you are on your own. I was able to source from a donor car with 85,000 miles for $1,100.00 and I am still pissed of at MB USA New Jersey
So your film shows both sides can be accessed? Then if so it is not PZEV
Same problem with my glk 350 2012 with only 137,000. I decide to sell it. The local eurpean mechanic want me to py him $1,800 for replacing the pump.
Did you end up selling instead then?
