Urgent advise regarding distronic radar system

[Azam]

Hello everyone, with a heavy heart i am writing this post and i will be extremely grateful for any help. I bought a cat S car ( my bad ) C class premium plus w205 the issue is that distronic was problematic.
I took it to a benz specialist who said the front radar sensors are problematic, i spent 1500£ to get them sorted. After 2 weeks the distronic radar itself stopped working and took it to the same garage who said that now the main front radar is problematic as there is no communication between the radar and the system. And has quoted me another 2000£ the part number is A0009007907 that costs 1270£+vat. There are plenty of used radars on ebay especially mostly from germany with price between 200-350£ however they're not sure if they'd be able to code that one. Does anyone has any idea if there is any solution for this? Or is it possible to get my current radar fixed or is it gone? Thanks

It's off the internet so no guarantee it's true, but it seems there is no coding needed.

No coding but will require calibration

Thanks for your reply, do you think it can only be done at main dealer?

Not all independents have the equipment so you would need to ask, but it wouldn’t be any old garage that could do it

Thankyou so much for your valuable reply, long shot again but do you think if i order a part from germany it would be compatiable with my car if they're saying that it is the same part number with matched serial number, i am only asking that if there would be any difference between Left hand vs right hand car parts?

 

[BillyBoy]

Differences between LHD and RHD would be signified by different part numbers, so you should be fine if the numbers match.

As above the parts are the same, it’s the calibration that set between left and right
