Could someone please check VIN WDBUF56J56A802753 for the balance shaft issue for me, please?

Also heard that the 7speed tiptronic in it has had issues in that model?

Thanks!

All MY2006's with the M272 V6 or M273 V8 will be in the range.


As for transmission issues, the earlier 722.9's do tend to be more problematic. a common issue is a bad turbine speed sensor that takes out the conductor plate.

If that's correct, then it has M272 engine #603288, which is beyond the balance shaft problem range.

Thank you very much!

No worries with the M113 engine. The "balance shaft" problems only affect the M272 and M273 engines.

Thank you,
All MY2006's with the M272, like the E350, will be in the range for potential balance shaft failure. As for failure, it won't occur "every" 60K miles, but it can occur at most any mileage. If it does fail and is fixed, the replacement parts should be "good for life".
