Hello everyone,
i have a 2007 C230 sport, engine number: 272 920 30 60 2712
2 years ago a check engine light showed up, and i received 2 error codes P0012 and P0015
i replaced all 4 magnets with brand new ones from MB authorized dealer, part number: A 272 051 01 77
a few days ago i had a check engine light again, error codes are P0012 and P0021 right and left intake camshaft and another one showed up today: exhaust camshaft
i am really confused!!!
my engine falls in the range of scenario 2
so the issue is supposed to get solved after replacing the 4 solenoids right?
any suggestions please?

Update:
i have installed new Magnets, and the check engine light is gone, problem solved.
apparently these magnets need to be changed every few years.
so if anyone's experiencing a similar problem with a check engine light and the following codes corresponding to camshaft magnets, even though you have previously installed new ones, they are failing and again you need to install new ones.

I have also heard of this happening. i am not sure if they fail, or if there was a bad batch of "revised" parts. Either way, the good news is that it's an easy and cheap fix.
