Having sold Mercedes vans until last year I find it very annoying that the service interval on a Sprinter is 2 years or 37500 miles and yet the same engine in a car is limited to 1 year/pitiful mileage! Having seen many overloaded 3.5 tonne vans Ivan only assume this is MB greed in getting as...

Shouldn't affect warranty (if using genuine parts) but will end your MobiloLife!!

If you want to save time and money, get it too a dealer and get it stuck on a star machine. Ask them for a price for this when you book it in. Sounds like the sensor though??

I used to tell customers to allow for an hour on a high specced Vito/Sprinter! I'd have loved to have sold a couple of C63s :)

You got a good handover from your dealer didn't you!?

Ousted toward at an MB commercial dealer and we were forced to take a load of new Vitos by MB. These were big basic 109 longs which we really didn't want. They sat I a corner for nearly a year! Plants grew over the back bumper, into the doors and out through the roof/door gap. Took one hell of a...

Which dealer did you use? Sounds like the salesman sold you duff info. I sold these until last April (forgotten some tech stuff now) but I'm sure you could have ordered S23 (twin pass seat) with US4 (comfort rear bench) You can't retro fit a twin front due to the seat belt pre-tension era and...

Armaplate door lock protectors. I used to sell Vito/sprinters and I never saw/or heard of a van getting broken into when they'd been fitted. I'm self employed now with tools in the back of my Sprinter (which is fitted with armaplates) Get the bolted on ones! They have local agents that will...

I sold these until April next year so I may have forgotten a couple of points but: All 119 engines have the 7G tropic box (due to the hearing, more power in every gear than the old V6!!) All the 119s have A/C and several other little options as standard too. The fuel economy in these things is...

I sold these for 10 year until next year. Only sold two private V6 in that whole time (good luck finding one) The V6 auto tended to do better that the 4cyl auto. The 109CDI was the worst of the lot for fuel (different diff ratio so it was always revving higher) I actually refused to sell my...

MobiloLife is why you no longer get your booked stamped. As its 30 years of cover and the car could be bought/sold many times everything is logged online. Service books get missed/lost. So basically, keep your servicing up to date and you get free breakdown assistance with loads of features...

Hi All, Looking at buying an X' reg c220 auto W202 which only has one fault. Once drive is initially selected it won't up shift, stays in first. When you give up it then won't let you push the lever any higher than neutral ie, you can't select reverse, unless you turn the engine off! Having just...

Hi all, I'm hoping to buy an X reg c220 W202 very soon. It's got a fault whereby once in drive it won't shift up but also won't then go back into reverse without first turning the engine off. On the first test drive it did temporarily fix itself and drove flawlessly. I'm going to check fluid...

Leccy windows Sold these for 9 years so I should be right here. Turn the ignition on (don't start engine) press and hold window switch down for about 8 seconds. Then hold it up until it's reached the top and for a further 10 seconds afterwards too. For some reason they seem to forget their...
