Gentle sirs, a point of clarification. Is the problem limited to the V6 M112, or has it also been a problem on V8 engines? The initial posts specifically reference the V6 of 1998 and newer, until the redesigned balancer appeared in 2000. Is there a problem outside this range, and in which engines is it found?

[No rumblings of an issue with my 560SL but I can't help but notice the question.]
