Looking to buy a M272, wondering about the balance shaft gears
I'm looking at a 2006 C230 with the M272 engine with 170,000 miles on it and I've heard this engine has a problem with the balance shaft gears. Somewhere it was mentioned it would fail at about 70,000 miles, could I assume that it's ok now? I'm thinking either it was already fixed or it's not a problem with this engine, that is if it hasn't failed by now it's not going to.
I just took it for a test drive and the engine seems a little rough for a six cylinder, but i'm used to my smooth as silk in line six M103. It almost seems like the balance shaft was removed. Is this normal for this engine?
