2007 CLK 350 Question
Hi Everyone, I purchased a 2007 CLK 350 CPO vehicle from a dealer about 2 years ago. I had one of my last warranty repairs done this week, and got a disturbing message from the dealer. I am not very car saavy, so please forgive me.
The dealer told me that: When the tech was replacing your CD changer that was under warranty, he notice that a code was stored. The code was related to plastic flap in the intake manifold getting stuck. The dealer advised that this could be close to a $2000 issue if it indeed breaks.
I have had zero driving issues, and zero check engine lights during the whole course of ownership. Would you all be worried? Or would you drive until an issue happens?
Also, I read some threads about the balance issues. Would love a vin check. Thanks everyone: WDBTJ56J17F230790

What is the sympton(s) of this malfunction? I am wondering because OP said he has zero driving issue.
Taken from the other post provided by Glyn M Ruck:
":0521 for intake manifold tumble flaps stored in ME-SFI engine control unit. Performed visual inspection and found linkage rod for intake manifold tumble flaps is broken. Recommend replacement of resonance intake manifold."
