Hello and E43 Distronic Issues
Hello All 
I have just purchased a new AMG E43 (in Australia) - after having endless issues with the grill mounted radar (100+ events logged of "Radar Sensor Dirty") the service department replaced the bracket that the radar unit is mounted with. The error has now cleared and has not come back.
I am now having issues with the Cruise Control / Distronic system not holding the speed correctly, (video attached) example, I have commanded 115km/h on a flat, zero gradient piece of the freeway, and note the speed is initially at 113km/h SLOWLY working its way up to 115km/h but then it comes back to 113km/h and then back to 115km/h - it seems to be in a cyclic pattern over about 90 seconds.
I have driven a 2017 C250 and a 2016 E200 and both systems maintained the commanded speed perfectly, which is why I'm questioning this...(my system has not functioned "perfectly" as per these models ever)
Has anyone else experienced this issue or is it normal ?
