	The sensor is located next to the fuel line or glow plug on the right side of the engine. Envision a scenario where the whole 'L' shaped plastic component is completely detached, leaving no object to grasp onto. Additionally, a fuel rail is present in the vicinity. I exerted significant force on it while the two metallic prongs were protruding, and it remained still - both prongs detached. I attempted to use silicon grease in order to release it. The presence of a warm engine while my work on it may have been beneficial. I believe my only prospect is to persistently erode the plastic and observe the contours of the underlying brass, with the expectation that it may possess a suitable surface to adhere to. The plastic's fragility was astonishing, which explains why the sensor was malfunctioning... I will upload a photograph tomorrow.

	Greetings, I attempted to detach my coolant temperature sensor, however the plastic material was too fragile, causing it to crumble. Two metallic prongs remained, prompting me to use pliers and exert force to extract them. The remaining material consists of plastic, with the sensor firmly embedded inside the aperture. There is nothing to pull on. Do you have any suggestions? Have you ever encountered this dilemma? Will the brass/metal have a pliable texture when I gradually remove the fragile plastic? I have limited options in each situation... Presently in a state of utter impasse (both literally and symbolically)... I will upload a photograph tomorrow.

May I have a photograph of the defect on the vehicle's display screen, please? Thank you. -

Once I successfully activate my OBD port, I will then proceed to give information that has a striking resemblance to what you are seeking. 🙂 - 
	Apply lubricant to all the components of the lock.

	She bought a new laptop that came with a trial version of Microsoft Office or a similar software, which turned subscription-based after about a month, maybe Microsoft 365, but I am not certain since I mostly use Apple products.

	I purchased a remote and navigation package for my GLC for £204 including VAT for a 12-month period. I prefer the navigation system in my GLC over Waze, despite being in the minority. Mercedes sometimes makes peculiar judgements, but this is not uncommon among car manufacturers. My weekly dining expenses, which include cover alcohol, are almost the same amount as the rates for the Mercedes, so relatively speaking, the Mercedes costs are not too high. My wife's annual membership for Microsoft updates costs around £70 and is hardly used.

Seeking a legal advice on lemon law
Craigbelont replied to jimmy47785's topic in General Discussions
If you are leasing, I recommend advocating for complimentary payments. Initiate a discussion first, since it is unlikely they would buy without discussing it. -

Engage in a conversation with your dealer (service manager/general manager) and then determine whether you need legal representation. -

If you own a pressure washer, here are the necessary steps to do the task independently. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tongdejing-Pressure-Undercarriage-Straight-Extension/dp/B08GRJ49LV/ref=sr_1_3?crid=393K4BXF7JZZO&keywords=under+car+pressure+washer+attachment&qid=1673255259&sprefix=under+car+,aps,158&sr=8-3 - 
	
Intermittent indication of low coolant level
Craigbelont replied to Screwdriver_1's topic in General Discussions
Ensure that you fill the coolant up to the maximum line, since the low coolant sensors on R8 vehicles tend to be quite responsive. - 
	I often use the air conditioning system while using the heating function throughout the Winter. Given our relatively temperate Winters, it is more pleasant to remove the moisture from the atmosphere on gloomy, rainy days. Although I cannot provide an exact measurement of the cabin's temperature, the presence of drier air creates a perception of coolness, suggesting that the air conditioning system may produce less heat.

Sanitising interior buttons with delicate surfaces
Craigbelont replied to Geek2232's topic in General Discussions
I was previously unaware of the existence of this peculiar substance, like silly putty and gummi, until I engaged in some contractual employment inside the vehicle manufacturing sector. Even Lidl had it in their inventory a few months ago. Alas! I have just been aware that I have once again made a post in the 'Detailing' forum. -

Is the fuel filter obstructed? - 
	
What is the residual weight of alloy wheels?

Contact your nearby PVC/double glazing window installer/company, since they often have the necessary cleaning solution to use after completing a work.v - 
	It is challenging since the automobile has accumulated 14,000 kilometres since you purchased it.

	Purchase the car, since the owner's identity is mostly inconsequential. Whether it is a dealer or a doctor, the primary focus should always be on acquiring the vehicle. I have seen some quite disappointing vehicles on the forecourts of MB agencies, as well as some highly unscrupulous individuals attempting to sell a car of excellent quality. An elderly woman I was acquainted with severely damaged her automobile and collided with various objects, all the while neglecting to have the car maintained due to her seldom usage of it, under the misguided belief that its newness would ensure its proper functioning. If you are able to "obtain it on a ramp," it would be much more advantageous, particularly if they are familiar with it.

	Perhaps a malfunctioning calliper piston? Any garage should be able to diagnose the issue without difficulty.
 - 
	Yes. I completed this task a fortnight ago. The same bothersome sound persists when the fan speed is increased to 4 or higher. Disassembled the blower and surprisingly discovered a solitary desiccated leaf resting in the blower spindle. Reassembling it resolved the problem. The leaf entered because the inadequate filter had completely deteriorated. Acquired a fresh housing lid from the dealer, which includes a revamped filter (the new one is white). However, I have not yet installed it.

	In my experience, the camera-based speed limit assist system only responds to the most recent speed limit sign it detects. I am uncertain about the functioning of this system in France, where the signage displaying the name of the town or hamlet signifies the commencement of a speed restriction of 50 kilometres per hour.
