Yep.,

On the wifes 2014 GLK350 with 282k miles I replaced the crank position sensor at 200k miles as a preventive measure. It is an item that is easy and cheap to replace but will leave you sitting by the road when it fails. My experience has been that they should be good to at least 200k miles.

I agree in regards to the coils too. They are a more common failure item. In the 282k miles I've had to replace one and it had not failed, I needed one for another application in a hurry and took it from the GLK.

I have a spare CPS in the glove box in all of my cars.
