C230 CEL camshaft position sensor B over retarded

So I have a 2006 C230 2.5 with 79k miles on it a few days ago I got a CEL code P0015 " camshaft position sensor B over retarded " So I replaced the Camshaft position sensor . ( not sure if it was the right one since they are 4 of them ) I changed the one on the passenger side of the vehicle if looking under hood back at car it was the one on the right ( closest to the engine ( NOT the one closest to fender if that makes sense ) I simply unplugged the old one removed it and replaced . Now after I did this I still have the CEL and the vehicle is very difficult to start and has a little rougher idle . Also now it is throwing a Crankshaft code . Any thoughts on what I did wrong ? ( prior to changing the sensor I did I only had a CEL the car started fine)

Sounds like you have a bad balance shaft. I'm not sure why you replaced the sensor.

At first I only had the p0015 code so figured it could be just the Camshaft sensor . Then after I replaced it I got a hard cold start situation and a Crankshaft sensor code. Would you advise putting a balance shaft in it or selling it ?
