Code P052E-71 Valve for crankcase ventilation has a malfunction Code P06DA-00 Actuation of the valve in the combustion engine has an electrical fault or open circuit. These codes have been reported on too many times on forums to not have these issues recalled and fixed and paid for by Mercedes. This expensive problem should not have occurred with such little mileage and have to be fixed by the consumer

Reports of repeat failures of crankcase vent assembly. Known issue on C-class (same system) and extended warranty in place for C-class models. Need extended warranty for Metris as well since the same problematic component is on these models too.
