    Rapid Remaps Chichester - Reviews

    AW8, cheers for the reply. The van only had 45k on it when I bought it and there were no faults. The ecconomy figures have always been this poor and i certainly don't drive like I stole it either, its the family chariot! The only variable is the remap, hence the original post really. The van is...

    Vito W639 2.2 EGR Blank Help?

    Hi all, I am looking to blank the EGR on my 2014 2.2 W639 116CDi - has anyone got a how-to or even better a video of this? Parts are only a few quid, just don't wanna get anything wrong! I have done this on VW's but not a Merc, any advice or pointers welcome! TIA :)

    I defo don't work in the motor trade, just trying to get my van sorted and get it done properly! Think the Celtic map is pretty crude in the power delivery and the fuel comsunption is something a V6 would be ashamed of! When towing my twin axle box trailer (1400kg MGW but only 400kg unladen)...

    Retrofit External DAB Aerial Vito 639

    Hi all, Got a Kenwood DAB garmin double DIN head unit, not a bad piece of kit. The only thing letting it down os the DAB signal, its shocking!!! Looking at retrofitting an external receiver but don't really know where to start?! Was looking at a shark fin from a C-Class but not sure about...

    Really slow to pull off, turbo lag is painfully long! Been the same since I had it done, about 18 months ago. Also my fuel economy is pretty awful too for a 2.2, got mates with tuned V6's getting waaaaay better motorway MPG. Was gonna just get it out of the ECU and have it dyno tuned

    Vito 639 Steering Noise

    Well.......it was the rack. New rack fitted (new rod ends while it was in too) and the problem is cured, less then £450 all in! Money I would rather have spent on toys for the van and not repairs though! Disappointing when its on a 14 plate with only 48k on it!

    I've got an account at my local parts dealer, they look after me on prices too! Where in the country are you? Needed a parts account, I used to own a T4 and then T5!! lol

    Vito 639 Steering Noise

    I spoke too soon...........parked up today to find fluid dripping off the n/s front wishbone forward mount! Can only be coming from the steering system and garage think it the rack leaking on to the boot and coming out when the boot is compressed; i.e. sharp turning when parking! New rack =...

    Would low fluid level in the system give problems/feedback through the steering?

    Vito 639 Steering Noise

    Hi all, Got a Vito 639 2014 116 with only 48k on it.......but the steering has a strange feel coming through the wheel when turning, almost like squeaky rubbers/top mounts but i can't nail it down?! No leaks etc from the power steering system, all looks fine and is still fully powered, no...

    Vito W639 Dualiner with Celtic Tuning Map......

    Sure it's nothing like that, it runs like a dream, pulls well and starts on the button

    Vito W639 Dualiner with Celtic Tuning Map......

    Yeah, still has that, guess it's just a characteristic of the sprinter engine!

    Vito W639 Dualiner with Celtic Tuning Map......

    On a shorter journey my MPG is lower but that stands to reason, but do kinda wish I'd stretched for the V6! However with the lower fuel returns and the temptation to use that power it's probably best I didn't! The quietness is something that annoys me about the 2.1, it does sound very commercial...

    Vito W639 Dualiner with Celtic Tuning Map......

    TBH it feels the same as it did before the remap when at a stop and in gear. I know what you mean about the 'pull' when stopped, other autos I've had before seemingly dropped the drive when park brake resistance was felt. I'm assuming this is a Vito or Merc characteristic but certainly wouldn't...
