HELP. Check Engine Light

Hello All,

VIN: WDDNG71XX7A045821

I am having a really hard time of getting a check engine light to go away. When I get the code ran its comes up a P0022.
I have replaced the cam shaft magnets several times along with the sensors.

Sometimes the light will not be on at start, and then comes on 5-10 mins later.
Sometimes it will stay off for a week, and then randomly come back.

I have only used top fuel grade, and I have used the chevron techron fuel system cleaner.
I have only got the car serviced at the MB dealer. Is it possible they could have used a different viscosity of oil and thats why the code is being thrown?

What are some other option to try and get this fixed? I don't think I fall under the balance shaft issue, but please advise me if I am wrong about that.

The dealership is not really much help, they tend to mess up (scratch, bump, ding, not tighten bolts etc.) more than they do good.

273 clean point is 30 088611, 30 026829 is within affected range. MBUSA offers sliding-scale extended warranty coverage for replacement of balance shafts and idle gears up to the lesser of 10 years/125,000 miles. Most likely this warranty has expired for your vehicle. Have independent check timing chain guide rail per attached bulletin.
