P0015 = exhaust
P0022 = right intake
P0025 = exhaust
P0060 = malfunctioning solenoid
At this point MB DAS is best to pull codes.
Have original shop revisit or request second confirm current part # 2720510177 is installed correctly for all 4 locations & check balance shaft with you present, see here

Forgive me for my ignorance on this issue Konigstiger but in an effort to make the best choice on these cars let me also ask this...the 630 VIN has 90,000 miles on it if this issue hasnt come up already is it still likely to be an issue moving forward. The unfortunate thing is that this is the better looking car and the better taken care of car as far as visual and car fax is concerned....test drive comes this weekend. The other has 101,000.

630, visit local MB dealer and request they review Vehicle Master Inquiry (VMI) with you to confirm if balance shaft was replaced. Dealer discretion, but you may find one who is cooperative. IMHO mileage or time elapsed is not a factor for problem to simply go away a defective part was installed at production and it will fail eventually (no one can predict when) this is this reason MB replaced it with modified version. Your call.

Need help decoding VIN
EDIT: I finally saw the post for the other VIN Decoding site, it worked perfect http://carinfo.kiev.ua/cars/vin/mercedes/vin_check
I've tried inputting the VIN of a 09 E300 into the russian site to get the right info, but it doesn't seem to work.
Anyone able to help me figure this one out?
