| Description of the problem | I own a mercedes benz 2006 e350 and the check engine light came on at around 54k miles. Had it check out at the dealership and they stated it was a camshaft sensor, i had them replace it at a cost of $550. Now at 57k miles the check engine light has come on with the exact same code, camshaft sensor. Upon research this is an engine/engine cooling:engine. This is a balance shaft issue common on the m272 mercedes benz e350 built b/t 2005-10. Cost to fix is documented @ $5,000-$8,000. |
