The radiator fans are in a constant state of operation.

A place for open-ended discussion on any car-related topic.

Upon inserting the key into the ignition and activating the electrical system without initiating the engine start, the temperature reading quickly escalated to 90 degrees Celsius. The first phase of the operation exhibited difficulties, indicating a potential issue with the temperature sensor. The fuel settings may not be appropriately calibrated, since the engine remains cold while the computer erroneously registers it as being at operating temperature.

I will attempt to use the other sensor on Sunday.

I conducted a scan of the air conditioning system pressure, as previously recommended, and obtained a result of 3 bar.

I conducted an experiment with a different sensor, whereby I connected it to a power source and let it to hang freely in the air inside its stationary housing. The temperature readings stayed within acceptable limits, and the fans did not activate. This experimental result serves as confirmation of the sensor's functionality.

I have attempted to detach the functional sensor from its previous housing, but it is firmly fixed and resistant to removal. Consequently, the sensor inside the vehicle is likely to provide a similar challenge. There is a potential danger of damaging the sensor socket if force is used, thereby necessitating the replacement of the whole housing unit with a new one.

The issue at hand pertains to the procurement of automotive components. Personally, I have a preference for Topran products due to their original equipment manufacturer (OEM) status. However, I have encountered a deceptive practise by Autodoc, wherein they manipulate orders to substitute Topran parts with those manufactured by Stark. Upon conducting an online search, it has come to my attention that Stark is a Chinese manufacturer owned by Autodoc, and I am not the only individual to have fallen

The major retailers are now experiencing a full depletion of inventory, resulting in extensive delays that are of such magnitude that they are unable to provide an estimated timeframe for replenishment.

I replaced the deficient statistic on my E220 vehicle with a Mahle component. It should be feasible to readily get one of them.

From whence did you get yours? The Euro currency does not indicate a specific brand or model. The GSF retailer simply mentions the term "premium," however with my last purchase from them, I received a Calorstat product. Calorstat is generally known for its reliability, although I was unaware of the specific item being supplied until its receipt.
