CLK550 VIN balance check
Hello all,
Thank you for helping me with my issues in a previous thread. I also would like to know if my 2009 CLK550 is within the affected range as it was build in Aug 2008, I believe.
My VIN is WDBTK72F09T101308
Thank you once again.

2007 CLK550 Coupe
Looking to buy a 2007 CLK550. I checked the Russian site and it listed the car as a CLK500 and the engine number as 104177 (if correct, I believe just out of range), but I'm not sure I trust the info is correct.
Would someone be nice enough to double-check this VIN? WDBTJ72H47F218275

No need to use the "Russian" site - this one works easily and in English:
https://www.datamb.com/
Yes, that one has 273 engine #104177 which is beyond the timing chain idler sprocket problem range.

It's a MY2006 - yes, it is in the range. Only M2007 needs to be checked for engine serial number.

Being a MY2006, the engine is in the range for potential balance shaft failure, but none of those codes are that. The P030x codes are "misfires". P0300 = "general misfiring" and the others indicate the cylinder numbers (4, 5 and 6). The OBDII code P0019 can represent four different MBZ-specific DTCs. They are all dealing with the left-bank timing:
1201 Constant adjustment of exhaust camshaft of left cylinder bank in direction 'Advanced' (P0019)
1202 Constant adjustment of exhaust camshaft of left cylinder bank in direction 'Retarded' (P0019)
1203 Constant adjustment of exhaust camshaft of left cylinder bank in direction 'Advanced' (P0019)
1204 Constant adjustment of exhaust camshaft of left cylinder bank in direction 'Retarded' (P0019)
It is possible that you have a cam adjuster issue that is causing the misfires. Unfortunately, none of these are easy fixes and are going to require a qualified mechanic to inspect things for a proper diagnosis. One thing I will mention is that I had this code on my CLK550 and it was due to a racked flywheel (damaged by the dealer when repairing the "balance shaft").
