Problem with camshaft magnet faults?

An engine management fault comes up with exhaust cam fault. The car has always been serviced by Mercedes. Is there a general problem with magnetic sensors on this V6 engine?

If you mean the V6 petrol engine, then yes: 27-8-2011: Problem of premature wear of timing chain sprocket for balancer shaft of M272 and M273 V6 petrol engines. Mercedes Star bulletin about this. Big job. Can cost £4000. From: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mercedes-benz/clk-w2...d
