W204 C280 fault codes help
Hey guys. My car’s been sitting for quite some time now because it was facing some leaking issues but, recently I managed to resolve it by replacing the vacuum pump, oil separator and cam plugs (common issues). Not long after, the battery died so I had that replaced as well. Now that the car runs, I did a quick scan using my Autel MK808 (first time using) and found these errors (file attached). I was wondering if you guys could help identify which codes are critical and require immediate attention to? and which codes can I just clear (if okay to do so)? I was thinking since I’ve just replaced the battery, I could just clear the low voltage codes but please correct me if I’m wrong.
P.S. Sorry if I sounded newb-ish, I’m still learning 😁

Update #2
Drove the car around the block and in the middle of driving, an error popped up: “EBV, ABD, ESP inoperative. See Owner’s Manual” and “Run flat indicator inoperative”. Searched through the forum for a similar issue and tried the different methods they suggested but nothing seems to work.
Brought the car back to the garage and while the engine is still running and the error lights still showing, I connected my scanner to see what faults it would read. I’ve attached the results from the diagnostics.
I read from this thread (link below) of someone experiencing the similar issue (reply #7) and his/her conclusion was a faulty ESP control unit which correlates to the results of my diagnostics. Seeing how expensive the replacement cost is, I’d want to consider that as my last option. Hoping someone could help me with a solution.

Regarding Error Code 0521 “The charge movement flap (cylinder bank 1) is faulty.”, I’m assuming this requires me to replace the intake manifold, correct?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Yes, I've read through this thread before. Heard a lot of people encountering the same issue suggesting that the flap mechanism might be broken. I've inspected said flap and it seems to still be intact. Some suggests that it might just be sticky due to oil build-up, so I think I'll try to clean it and see if it would budge. Either way, I think replacing the flap mechanism to the Aluminum version as oppose to the factory plastic one should be a good move right?
