I have just bought a W204 C280 with the V6 petrol engine, a late 2007 model with 78k on the clock. Just been reading that my car could be a prime candidate for the balance gear shaft premature wear issue that has affected countless M272 engines around the world. What (if any) signs would the...

Been reading up about the balance shaft gear issues that plagued the early (upto MY 2008) W204 M272 engines that led to premature wear and expensive costs associated to fix it. I am looking at a 2009 (58 plate) C Class 220 CDi this weekend but want to be sure that this car is the revised...

Hi, I'm new to the forum but not new to owning a mercedes. Had a few issues with the car and only had it 6 weeks, not a good sign! Just wanted people's opinions if the following fault codes are the dreaded balancer shaft issue? They are as follows:- 0522 - Diagnosis of tumble flat intake...

1991 300CE with Traction Control has a broken half shaft. Need to find replacement urgently.

I need to replace the n/s output shaft seal on my W211 E270, are there any special tools that I need, i.e. funny sized sockets or Torx bits ? I'm an ex Jaguar tech, so have plenty of tools, but like to make sure I have everything I need before I start a job.

So one slightly annoying thing about my 500sec is that the gas pedal seemed to go down quiet a bit before hitting anything and operating the throttle, and I don't think I am getting full throttle. Someone who is into old benzes told me that it has a two-position kickdown, and I think I am only...

After the CEL illuminated on my ML 350 I took it to my local MB dealer who have now quoted £3000 to replace the balance shaft. Car is 06 with 85k on the clock. I did some research and it appears MB are aware of this issue and is caused by a issue with the manufacture of the balance shaft...

Hi I see the prop shaft UJ is crimped in place, has anyone had success in replacing it? Mine has gone all notchy and does not move smoothly resulting in a variable hum when driving over undulating roads.

My CLK was "diagnosed" with a worn balance shaft sprocket. I say "diagnosed" because it took 3 visits to the dealer before they managed to work out that the balance shaft was the culprit. They've given me the diagnostic sheets, to prove that they now have the correct explanation. As far as I...

Hi guys. It's ok, I'm not going to start whining, I love my Benz too much. I just have this little problem. When I pull away in my W202 C180 Esprit, I get a little squeaking noise that sounds like it would be in time with the rotation of the UJ's on the prop/drive shaft. It happens when the car...

Having only just bought my 2005 CLK 320 Auto I thought I would phone round the companies that have serviced the car before to check what had been done, or not, and see if there had been any advisories or other observations of note. It's just had the oil change for the automatic transmission...
