I have a 2010 C300 so yours should be the same. The camshaft oil control valves are located behind the camshaft magnets. You need to remove the camshaft magnet where you're getting the codes, and put a 24 mm socket and turn COUNTERclockwise but also have a second ratchet at the back of the camshaft as a counterhold. I did this last summer but if I remember correctly for the back of the camshaft it's a T60. Then you can undo the valves and clean and place back and see if that fixes it. I only had a P0019 but after cleaning it, the check engine light hasn't come back on in a year and power is restored. Good luck!
