Rodney, I'm interested in buying a 2006 slk280 and am worried about cam shaft problems. Can you check the vin on the one I'm considering? It would be much appreciated! WDBWK54F26F127482

Hey guys. New to the thread and site. Looking at a c280 and came across this balance shaft thread. The vin for the one I'm looking at is WDBRF92H37F919722. I would be very appreciative if someone would check to see if it falls with in range. Thank you!

WDBRF92H37F919722 has M272 #577718 - it's beyond the affected range.
WDBRF92H57F889008 has M272 #516347 - also beyond the affected range.
@SEAN: Yes, if you can verify that the balance shaft (or idler gear on the M273 V8) has been replaced, then that is a permanent fix.

WDBRF52H47A933571 has M272 engine #446023, which is in the range for potential balance shaft failure.
WDBRF40J35F722250 is a C230 Kompressor - no worries there with balance shaft issues on the M271 engines.

Rodney,
The vin reads as follows...
WDBWK54F77F161080
I think the "F" was in the wrong place.
Thanks so much!
