Looking for a car for a friend. Found an E350 (gas). On the build sheet it says the following:

Major assembly variant: A 272 010 25 00
Part var. design.: 27297230

PLEASE ORDER BASE ENGINE A 272 010 37 45 80.
USE THE FOLLOWING PARTS FROM THE OLD ENGINE OR ORDER AS NEW PARTS

Does this mean that a new engine was installed by the dealer ? Maybe due to balance shaft issues ?
