Mercedes GLK-Class Catalytic Converter X204 (2008-2015)

A catalytic converter is an essential exhaust system component designed to reduce harmful emissions from your Mercedes GLK-Class (X204). It converts toxic gases from the engine exhaust into less harmful substances before they leave the vehicle's exhaust system.

The Mercedes GLK-Class X204, made between 2008 and 2015, mainly uses catalytic converters compatible with the following diesel engines:

• OM642 (3.0L diesel, 224 HP) in GLK 320 CDI 4-MATIC models from 09/2008, meeting Euro 5 standards.
• OM651 (2.1L/2.2L diesel, 170 HP) used in GLK 220 CDI 4-MATIC models from 2008 to 2015, compliant with Euro 5 and Euro 6.

There are also gasoline variants with 2.0L engines compliant with Euro 6 standards made between 2013 and 2015.

Key technical features vary by model and engine, including size, certification, and power compatibility:

• Diameter around 330 mm for most models.
• Compliance with Euro 5 or Euro 6 emission standards, with E-Mark or E1 certifications.
• Power ratings aligned with engine output, e.g., 224 HP for OM642 and 170 HP for OM651 engines.
• Includes accessories like mounting screws, anti-noise plates, and MAPP codes for road legality.

Please ensure you select the catalytic converter that matches your vehicle’s engine code and emission standards.

To ensure perfect compatibility, you should verify:

• Your vehicle’s engine code (OM642 or OM651).
• The model year of your vehicle (2008-2015).
• Presence of Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and specific equipment codes.
• Euro emission standard required (Euro 5 or Euro 6).

Using your VIN can also help to confirm the exact compatible catalytic converter model. Matching this information ensures the catalytic converter will fit and operate efficiently with your car.

High-quality catalytic converters like those from trusted manufacturers feature:

• Manufacture from stainless steel INOX 409 for durability.
• Use of advanced monolith technology with rare metals for optimal emission control.
• Certification by leading European authorities such as TÜV SÜD ensuring compliance and performance equal or superior to original parts.
• A warranty period typically lasting 3 years or up to 100,000 km of usage.

This guarantees long-lasting and efficient performance while complying with environmental standards.

When you purchase a catalytic converter for your GLK-Class X204, the package generally includes:

• The catalytic converter unit itself, built to OEM specs.
• Necessary mounting accessories such as screws (usually 4-5) and clips.
• Installation instructions and anti-noise plates.

Ensure you have all components ready for installation and check if additional items like oxygen sensors are required for your specific model.

The catalytic converter is a core part of the exhaust system that:

• Receives exhaust gases from the engine's manifold or pipe.
• Processes harmful emissions such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides using catalyst materials inside.
• Works in conjunction with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) on diesel models to reduce particulate emissions.
• Ensures your vehicle meets legal emission standards and helps protect the environment.

It is designed to function seamlessly with sensors and exhaust components for optimal engine performance and emission control.
