Years ago, when my sister-in-law purchased a caravan and used Elbow Grease to clean every surface (inside and out), I first heard of it. The caravan came up like new after that. It turned out that someone suggested it to her as she waited for her children outside the school gates. The mothers of a small number of the children belonged to the nomadic people and took great pride in it.

No worries. We don't mind if your cars are dirty. Oh, no!

Seems like it should be fine to use. To make it even better, try Astonish on a glass.

What I really want to do is hear the screams of all the car detailing nut jobs on this forum! LOL

For years, I've used it on nearly everything. Joining the other automotive lotions and potions, it is a staple in my kitchen, garage, and workshop. It has worked flawlessly on every surface I've tried it with. Big bottles are less expensive at stores like B&M, and it's not a strong degreaser; it's very mild.

😝

It says "engine tick" in the title, haha. Best of luck, buddy!

Issue with the thread's title. Completely recorded cam/followers. The sound of an engine cranking or ticking. Later models have upgraded parts. Metal of low quality or perhaps not lubricated enough. The German automaker Mercedes is aware of the issues. It is not common practice to change the oil and filter every 4,500 miles on vehicles with such low mileage.

I made the problem public. Myocardial infarction expert recommended giving it a go. Serviced every 4300 miles due to mechanical failure at 43,000 miles. Can you believe it? It's terrible. It seems to be a widely recognized and recorded failure.

Where is the problem? It seems unrealistic to expect MB to be willing to pay when it's 10 years old.

My 2016 Mercedes-Benz was serviced at a Mercedes specialist in Bradford when it had 43000 miles. Around 4,300 miles per year. The specialist has three vehicles in for the same purpose. One has 85,000 miles on it, two have high mileage, and one has missed a couple of service appointments. Given the vehicle's low mileage and service history, they suggested contacting Mercedes-Leeds to inquire about a possible cost reduction. In order to accomplish this, I must bring it to the main dealer for diagnosis. Now I understand why. However, with Mercedes Germany's high likelihood of refusing assistance, is it worth spending £190.00 on a diagnostic? The self-reliant should be the one to carry out the tasks. Warm regards

Are those remnants from a ginger snap or bourbon? Ha ha ha.

I possess the button for the bolster pump, yet I have never encountered that particular one in the handle. I visited my friend's garage yesterday and observed three BMWs, yet none possessed that button. One lives and learns, as the saying goes, and I will continue to seek every opportunity, haha.

It is the identical small button located on the side of the seat adjacent to the button that inflates the sides of the seat, provided they are the sports seats.

This is unfamiliar to me; I have never encountered it before, although I cannot claim to have actively searched for it, yet I believe I would have sensed its presence.

Haha, that’s reasonable; is there a specific reason it’s malfunctioning at the moment? I haven't owned the car for long, and there are numerous features I don't understand; my previous vehicle was a 116d, which only had a clutch pedal and a steering wheel.

That is precisely the function of the button - the locking mechanism of the door is inconsequential. 😂

The door does not appear to lock either.

It secures or releases the door. For goodness' sake, my friend, tidy up your vehicle 😂 there's a new strain of Ebola in there.

Any image of it.

Is there anyone who can explain the function of this button? I previously owned a 120d from the 16 plate year. I have exerted pressure on it and cannot observe any alterations.

Issue in the thread's title. Thoroughly recorded cam/followers. Engine rattle/tick. Components revised in subsequent models. Substandard metal or insufficient lubrication may be the cause. Mercedes in Germany is fully cognisant of the issues. Typically, vehicles with such low mileage do not require oil and filter changes every 4500 miles.
