m272

New in the box M272 power steering pump, its a service exchange unit never fitted. Fits the V6 mercedes SLK and others.

I have a leak from at least one of the camshaft plugs on the E350. Is there anything special-to-type about the plug seals, or are they just standard O-rings?

Just got car back from Indy, they ran a fault report that, following a reset and test run, flagged up the following items. Any help on these would be appreciated! P0154 - Component Y110 (three-disk thermostat valve) has a short circuit to ground (P0598) P0406 - Component Y16/2 (Heating...

Hi everyone, So I'm a newbie here and been pouring over the various threads picking up loads of really useful information. I've just bought a 2007 CLK280 convertible as a 2nd car. It was a bargain price but it does need a little TLC! So, the first issue that I'd love some advice on, is a...

I am suffering with exhaust fumes in the cabin of my W203 C350 (M272 - petrol). The common view is that this is caused by oil leaking out of the camshaft core plugs and dripping on the exhaust. So at the weekend I replaced my core plugs but the problems persist. So I got under the car to look...

Having a bit of fun and games with fault codes from my C350, which runs the M272 and hoping others may be able to help. Firstly, about six months ago the CEL came on, I read the codes, replaced the lower (exhaust?) camshaft magnet on bank 1 and for the last 4 months it has been trouble free...

Question on the balance shaft issue prone M272 engine (C280) Do they all suffer form the issue if the engine code is within the range effected by the problem, or, is it luck of the draw?? I am looking at an 06 - 69k miles car, but the worry if putting me off! If it doesn't have the issue...

Hi everyone, Hoping someone can help me, my C230 started throwing up a P2006 code and after nearly passing out from the quote to repair it from a local indy I started googling about and found the repair kits and cracked on with pulling the Intake Manifold off. Whilst the lever is snapped...

Hello, wondering if someone can help. To cut a long story short I was spraying a bit of silicon spray on the belt, think I caught it with the straw and to my surprise, the belt came off :eek: After a bit of stressing, went on you tube and managed to find the 17mm tensioner and put it back...

Hello all, I am new here, my name is Sean. Ive owned a 2005 CLS350 for about a month now, the only issue so far was a faulty door jamb switch, an easy fix. The car runs like new, feels new, its done 67000 miles so far. I was wondering how common the well known balance shaft/gear issue...

Hi, Sorry, I know this has been done to death... I put a deposit down on a reasonably priced (£3.5k resonable?) 2006 C class Estate 3.0l a couple of days ago. Since then I've read a lot about the M272 balance shaft issues (on this forum and others) and am re-considering the decision. I know I...

I recently replaced the balance shaft and all that goes with it at the local dealer. The car is running fine after this apart from 2 times during quite hard acceleration, then for a *very* brief moment (it felt like someone pressed a switch and then almost immediately turned it on again). If it...

OK so I have just bought an 06 c280. Yes I should have done a bit of research about the model before buying it! So the engine management light came on shortly after I bought it and I took it in for a diagnostic - they told me that it pointed to the "idler shaft" and that it would cost...

Hi, I always thought the 3L V6 in the 280 was the same as that in the 300 and 320, and it wasn't until you get to the 350, it went to 3.5L. Being only a software/mapping difference between the power outputs, therefore it could be remapped to unlock quite a bit more potential. It seems I...

Hi all just joined today, got my slk r171 350 in November and am so far really enjoying it, although after reading numerous horror stories regarding all the cam balance shaft problems I'm starting to worry. My car is a 2005 54 plate 350 amg spec with 7G auto box, what if anything should I be...

Hi Guys, I am very concerned about my car since I have seen the thread about M272 engine and their common issues. I have bought on Monday a CLK 280 Sports Convertible 94,000 Miles 02/2006 with front bumper and front grill damaged (CAT D). Nothing else is damaged: Radiator in perfect...

Hi, M272 engine number 272963 30 3466 is that in the balancer shaft problem?

Hi, forum! Car is running fine (like it always has). When the car was serviced a couple of days ago I got the report from the workshop that it a has a stored fault code; 1208 (P0016). :mad: The engine light has not been illuminated and again, car is running fine (no strange noises etc.)...

Hello everybody, I would like to ask the owners of MB cars equipped with the piezoelectric injectors about the real fuel consumption in and out the city. I personally owe a CLS with the 3.5 V6 CGI engine ,that runs about 15-20 mpg urban and about 25 extra urban. It wouldn't surprising if...
