    Viano detachable towbar.... Long shot!

    Thanks m80. Ours in the compact, so sadly no spare wheel to look in! I'll keep my eyes peeled on eBay...

    Viano detachable towbar.... Long shot!

    That information is all really helpful, thank you so much! I had a good search of all the interior areas behind the panels in case it was hiding, but alas not... We're only planning on putting a bike carrier on at the moment so hopefully the electrics won't be a problem! Sorry to sound like a...

    Viano detachable towbar.... Long shot!

    Thanks for posting that, not many advertise with postage. I've no idea whether Towbars from different vehicles would fit... Hoping someone here might have experience!

    Viano detachable towbar.... Long shot!

    Hi, yes it is. We've had it for a year, done a mixture of journeys and would say it averages about 20-21mpg.

    Viano detachable towbar.... Long shot!

    Hi everyone, I appreciate this is a huge long shot, but I was wondering if anyone had a detachable towbar to fit a 2004 Mercedes Viano? It seems that our van came fitted with the Westfalia detachable Towbar from the factory. The electrics and fixing bracket is present beneath the bumper and...

    w639 Alarm issue?

    Sorry to raise this post from the dead, but I am having the same problem with my Viano. When I lock the van the indicator lights keep flashing, if I click lock again they stop.... Any chance you could explain to be how to look for the loose connection? Thanks

    Hi, I'm hoping to convert a Vito/Viano to a campervan

    Hi Mattventuring, we had similar ideas during lockdown 1.0 last year, and ended up buying a SWB Viano. We decided to stick with a "day van" style conversion, building our own self-contained little kitchenette that sits in the back. This has proved to be a brilliant option for days out to the...

    ICarSoft not deleting code error code

    I'll try that tomorrow, thanks. Just in case I'm being a complete idiot, the battery earth? Does that mean the two terminal clamps? Live and neutral?... Is the fact I'm asking that question telling me I should leave it alone 😂

    ICarSoft not deleting code error code

    Thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it. I tried the obd section but not faults are shown there sadly. It's running version list v11.30, is that the most current? I suspect that there must be an underlying issue that isn't allowing me to erase the code, as you guys have...

    ICarSoft not deleting code error code

    I finally took the plunge and brought my own iCarSoft MB V2 from UK parts direct (given the concerns expressed about take units). I was able to connect the unit and find my vehicle and all seemed to be good. I scanned the SRS system and error codes were identified (the light was on the dash)...

    Cheeky iCarsoft request? West Oxfordshire

    Thanks, thinking about it I'm not too sure anyone can send me a PM yet anyway... I need to get posting more! Also, I've realised W. Oxfordshire might be a bit niche.... I'm happy to travel but thought it best to stay within my "area"

    Cheeky iCarsoft request? West Oxfordshire

    I appreciate this is a bit of a cheeky request from a new member but I was wondering if there was anyone in the West Oxfordshire area that might be willing to let me hook up their iCarsoft tool to my 639 Viano and see if clearing the SRS error code solves the issue? Having read around on the...

    Replacing tailgate on W639 Viano

    In case this helps anyone else in the future, I can confirm that tailgates from the post facelift Viano/Vito do fit the pre-facelift. Well my second replacement one did at least! Turns out the original one was damaged as suspected.
