They are so unreliable for check engine lights that I would never recommend them to anyone. Way too complex. You think you can fit those trap oxidizers and chemistry sets onto a motorcycle?

That's surprising.
MB has been building diesel autos long before anyone even considered it was feasible (in the U.S. anyway).
You'd think if anyone could get it right they could.
