Description of the problem	My check engine light is on. I had it looked at by my mechanic. He confirmed that it is the balance shaft. This needs to be replaced. I researched this problem and found many mercedes 230 models have this manufacturer's problem because the piece was cheaply made. This is a problem with your mercedes c230 2006 and 2007 models. In 2008 c230 model this was replaced with a quality balance shaft piece which eliminated the problem. I would like for mercedes corporation to pay for the full cost of my repair because it is a manufactured faulty piece used in the 2006 and 2007c230 models. Please let me know details to get this paid for. Thank you!!
