oooh no don't say thatPut your vin in 7zap to make sure you have no dpf.
Or call a merc dealer and ask.
Around that time of your car, i believe dpf were just taking off and possibly an optional extra.
My 2005 270 clk doesn't have DPF as that was one thing I didnt want when I bought a diesel. I previously had a citroen with DPF what a nightmare,as wife did fairly short runs always in limp mode or garage !! Mind you it was a french car lolPretty sure a 2002 and 2005 CLK is too early for a DPF, I seem to recall the DPF was an optional extra by 2007 though.
