Re: [MBZ] 2007 E350 no start

[Dwight Giles via Mercedes]

There is a website to enter your VIN & see if your engine number is one of
the 350's effected with balance shaft issues. I was on it today look up an
m272 for a friend.

    My 06 E350 (POS) has the same problem.  The Fuel Pump/s is bad as 
per my Indy.  I am going to take it to local dealer - they will tow it 
for free if I let them repair it.  I need some clarification on what the 
warranty covers. Their answer was a little vague so I need to speak to 
one of Service Advisors in hopes they are familiar with the warranty 
details.

of the E350 affected by the faulty cam sensors.   Not sure what the

A friend has a 2007 E350 wagon M272 with 140k miles that won't fire, it
just cranks and cranks. I pulled codes and it shows P0011 cam timing, bank
1 position A (intake); P0271 Powertain, which google says is associated
with the first code; and P0521 Oil pressure switch.

I checked the cam solenoid magnet and it had the common failure mode of oil
leaking through the connector at the top, so I installed a new one from the
dealer this morning. Still no start.

Anyone familiar with these engines? I keep reading about balance shaft
problems, but I'm not sure if that will cause a no start like this.

The P0521 looks like it may actually be a stuck flap in the intake
manifold, but I'm not seeing any association with a no start. This is hard
without a manual or proper diagnostic equipment!

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tom

I’ve had direct experience with failed CPS’ and that’s exactly what they do.  
Crank all you want, no spark/fuel.

That was my first thought as well, based on my vast experience reading stuff on

Crankshaft position sensor? While I know you didn’t say there was a code for 
it, that is a very common "cranks but no start” reason on earlier model engines.

I just googled your complaint and this came up:

https://repairpal.com/mercedes-benz-e350-2007/problems

CPS is one of the common complaints for this problem.

I would also be looking at fuel pressure, too.  Bad fuel pump can cause similar 
symptoms.
