Hi - I have a 2009 registered CLK280 Sport.
However, the car was built in July 2008. And I am wondering if it might be subject to the issues earlier M272 engine cars can suffer from.

My engine number is: 272940 31 031885


I have read that engines over 2729..30 468993 are safe?

Based on the last 6 digits my engine would appear to be affected. But based on the last 8 digits - my engine would appear to be safely beyond the issues.
I am assuming the latter is the case? But wondered if someone could clarify?

Thanks in advance - Richard.
