vito

My first post so hi to everyone!! Bought a vito brabus (08) end of last year for a bargain price needing some work doing. The van needs body work and some minor niggles sorting, also has an intermittent vibration coming from the rear. My Indy said worst case it could be the auto box which...

1st case-Instrument cluster would jump and limit the revs, clicking sound in the dash when the air con is on and does not work the same time it is happening to the instruments. 2nd- While driving engine light comes on then loses power before engine shuts down, can coast, turning ignition off...

Well after finally getting my oil cooler done and, after cleaning all the manifolds /swirl valves/EGR/Throttle body/ EGR Cooler so they had no deposits, I thought a full service was a good idea. So Fuel filter was done anyway in removing oil cooler. Air filter was a few minutes, although...

Does anyone know why Merc' haven't kept the good bits of the 120 V6 when they came up with the 190? Is there any news of a "Proper" improvement of the excellent 120 V6 before they stop producing the Vito and just make the ridiculous Pick-up? Come on Merc', please speak to your...

Anyone got a reference for paint codes that would list any different 'orange' colours as seen on Mercedes Vito cans? When I had some minor repairs to my Stratos kit, years ago, was told the orange was the same as a Vito orange. I'd now like to get some touch-up paint for the car but it...

Its my Vito.. Its a 2006 111CDi. In the Glove box there's an indentation between the two cup holders on the lid, as "Moose" The Boxer says "Wot Doin'?" It looks like an indentation for a torch..could be wrong? :dk:

I have a Vito 2008 v6 and I am about to order the oil for a change/service. I have found this and cannot believe how cheap it is? 20 L Genuine Mercedes Benz 5W30 Low Ash SAPS Engine Oil MB229.51 Fully Synthetic | eBay...

Hello im new here. Looking to buy a van and i quite fancy a vito. Looking to spend about £4K. So in all likelihood an 06ish one with medium milage. Needs to be able to fit my bike and tools in the back and tow my fun car to trackdays. But mostly it will just be my everyday 'car'. Have heard...

Hi all, has anyone replaced the dash centre speaker & if so with what, mine has one speaker with two pairs of wires going to it but the v class looks as if it has two speakers with a pair to each, I only ask because I never knew it existed until I was searching for a place to put the tracker...

Hi all, Looking at getting a van as I am doing more and more bike trackdays so need to be able to get around and not rely on mates! Have been told by a good friend of mine the VW and Merc are the way to go for a reliable van, and that lead me to Vitos. So, please tell me, whats good...

Hi. Wondering if someone can help me out. I have a Vito W638 and recently bought a tailgate to convert to from barn doors. However I didn't realise that the mounting plates are situated within the rear roof are of the van that has a tailgate as standard and also believe they need cutting out. I...

Hi I have a 2009 Vito 120 Sport. the steering starting getting very heavy and difficult to move at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions. Suspected the rack so a recon unit was fitting for GSF. this improved it but it was still heavy, a new pump was then fitted supplied from Merc. This...

Hi, I've recently fitted a genuine MB rear discs and pads to my Vito 150 long and now I'm getting a rubbing/howling sound from the o/s. I've had the handbrake shoes (which are fine) cleaned up and adjusted but the noise keeps coming back and only when steering to the right even ever so slightly...

Well after much reading and procrastinating, I decided to plunge in to the nightmare job.:eek: Having bought gaskets, torx/star sockets in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and ratchet spanners I was just waiting for a dry day as doing this outside. I couldn't find ANYTHING on net after a week of searching, so I...

Anybody recommend a decent MB repairer in Coventry that can work on Vito's? Have found the following , are these okay ? GM motors on lythalls lane Coventry. Mercland Nuneaton. Want to get a quote on oil cooler leak , but Van is Sorn at moment so cannot take it there. Do you...

Have got to fix oil cooler leak on my Vito 120, so will have to strip inlet manifolds etc off. Will obviously clean them, as will no doubt be choked with carbon as will be the Egr. So now thinking all the effort it will be , should I get the egr valve removed? Had this done on my...

Hi. I'm after some help or advice on a problem with the turbo on my 3.0 Vito engine. The van went in to a workshop a while back for a mild remap and to delete the egr. I just wanted to get few more mpg out of the thing and if that came with a few more ponies then fair enough. After two failed...
