Short drives are hell on the DPF. I make sure my Jetta takes at least a 1hr run a month, more would be better but thats the frequency I go into the office these days. If I start restoring my house in Maine it'll get a lot more miles on it. -Curt On Saturday, March 13, 2021, 8:05:12 PM EST,

Probably. I suspect if you park it when the check engine light comes on, you can get away with replacement of the balancer gear and related parts (Fcp euro has a kit), but once it's making much noise, the whole engine is probably toast. Rick From: mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: March 13, 2021
