    Viano seats and rails compatibility

    Don't remember for sure but doesn't the Vito only come with bench seats and shorter rails. The Viano will take the bench seat but has full length rails. The bench seat fitting both might perhaps suggest it would work. As for the table it runs between the seats with the single seat fittings to...

    Delay

    Well this must be first. After waiting 5 months for this part on back order and prepaid MB have admitted that they can't give a delivery date and authorised a refund. What happened to their claim to keep a car on the road for 30 years? Looks like you are on your own if you want a genuine part.

    Delay

    I have been waiting 4 months for a drive shaft for a Viano. Everytime it gets close to a quoted delivery time it gets pushed back another month. To make it worse they insisted on prepayment so I can't cancel. Never happened before. Even when ordering classic parts. This the norm now?

    Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5

    Weren't they made for Jaguar? Had them for sometime and hadn't noticed them particularly noisy. On a good road they are very quiet. On a full lock they do scrub alarmingly.

    mercedes lifetime corrosion warranty

    Came in a booklet with the manuals when it was new. The workshop made a big thing about testing the paint thickness. I was told that if it was thicker than standard they wouldn't do it as it would have been repainted. In the end it didn't matter as I backed it into a lamp post and the insurers...

    Viano 2012, EML came on

    Well I worried about it and still do when it happens but as no cause could be found and it cleared in a day or two there wasn't much else I could do. I put it down to age.

    Viano 2012, EML came on

    I have a similar problem and it will eventually clear on its own.

    W116 brown Velour

    Unbelievable Quite a few sources named on the 116 forum. W116.org but not cheap

    Viano noise

    Got this noise or whine from the left rear. Not harsh but starts at low speed, fades but returns at 25, fades again back at 40. Thought it the brakes as the discs were worn so replaced them and the pads. An improvement in volume but essentially still there. Done 75K and the last couple of years...

    Replacing Vito Captains Seat with Bench Seat

    I did individual to bench as I wanted a longer floor space. No problem but the floor finishes at the seat leaving a gap where the individual seats were fastened. OK otherwise but bench seemed a bit close to dash and as said no adjustment.

    Vito W639 Heater Control Panel

    I always found it easier to go to a dealer explain what is wanted and let them look it up. Saves getting the number wrong. Must be a commercial dealer nearby.

    Mercedes Viano front wheel bearing

    Certainly expensive at a main dealer. Had our Viano serviced and repaired by them since new but finally got fed up with the charges and attitude. Just had some repair work done by Eden Tyre Services they have all the kit plus diagnostic and half the price. That ended our going to a main...

    Viano auto gear display

    The illuminated display alongside the selector has failed for the fourth time. Three times the whole unit has been replaced. Lights don't even come on now with the driving lights and the illumination of the selected gear, which has been playing up for a while has also completely failed. Have...

    Vito single front seat swap

    In theory yes but they would be the wrong way round. The adjustments and arm rests. Also a problem if they have airbags.

    No don't have a number for Mr Injector but is online. Got a repair kit for mine but does repair and supply refurbished but as you might have discovered they are not cheap particularly when needing 8.

    w639 wheels

    Had a Viano with 19" wheels. You would have thought it would have been a hard ride but it was really good. Problem with changing tyres on the Vito is the load rating and could also invalidate insurance. You would have to tell them.

    Hi I have sl350 1972 with d-jetronic

    Mr Injector will repair or replace and Bosch republished the D-jet manual. It was available through the classic store. The UK Mercedes-Benz Club has a good problem solving guide originally published by MB.
