If the chain skipped a tooth on the sporocket wouldn't you feel a vibration all the time? Not the case with the current problem.

Any idea what the job entails? Any special tools needed?

The plugs were replaced about 30k mi. ago.

Thanks.
All 06 and part of the 07 m272 production run have the bad sprocket. Your 06 c230 has the same m272 as the 350 just smaller bore and stroke. It's not a matter of if but when. It's an engine out job.
Mercedes Benz balance shaft engine issues. How to check by VIN. M272/273
