Description of the problem	Balance shaft manufacturing defect causes gear teeth to wear prematurely. This is a internal engine component. Poor materials caused the camshaft sprocket teeth to wear out ? Thus this is a manufacturing problem. Internal engine components like balance shaft sprockets are meant to last at least 150000 miles on mb cars ? Thus they are difficult to replace & repairs so expensive. Symptom starts with camshaft position related check engine light - repair costs $7000. This occurs for many many many cars with that m272 engine. This is a environmental and safety hazard. Mercedes should be forced to do a recall. Ref: http://mbworld. Org/forums/e-class-w211/442004-dreaded-m272-balance-shaft. Html ref: http://mbworld.
