My cruise made a quiet "EEEEEEEEEEEE" noise when engaged and climbing hills until it started the dreaded surging and I haven't used it since. MB CC's are a product of their time, expensive to repair and flaky. I am planning of retrofitting a quality aftermarket CC system to my 300D when I find the time.... RT
