Balance shaft failure
2006 C230 Sport 108k. Got the dreaded P0016 and P0017 codes. Balance shaft sprocket failure.
Mechanically checked the cam end markings. Yup right side is off. Need to pull the engine. Searched the interweb and found nothing on engine removal. Bought the EPC/WIS disc's. Geek at computer store can't get them to load. Bought them from MB WIS/EPC. He thinks there bogus.
But, lets focus on engine removal. I have a full shop with lift, engine crane, engine stand etc., so I'm doing it myself. Paying MB dealer 5k to fix a 5k car makes no sense. Lots of vid's on balance shaft replacement and setting engine timing. All the vid's show the engine on a stand but not how it got there. Nothing on engine removal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You posted in the wrong forum section since your car is a W203 whereas this section is for W204.
Best of luck.
