Balance Shaft Help??

Good day,

Today I’m inquiring for help in regards to my C230 2006. I have had an engine light one for some time. I clear it with the code reader, light comes on almost right away. I notice vehicle is sluggish between 1-3.500rpm. Like almost lag when stepping on gas, but car is not equally responsive with power, like it used to be.

i have taken it to get a diagnostic, here’s what the garage is pointing towards. Balance shaft issues.

has anyone experienced this, fixed this or recommend I try something else first. Thanks.

Diagnostic

The magnets are circular and have 3 bolts holding them in place. Look for an MB number starting with 272.....
