2002 mercedes vito 112cdi

[shanemorrissey]

Hey there,

I just bought a 2002 vito 112cdi automatic and was wondering are they always this slow??? I had a 108d a few years back and I even thought that had more power (as far as I can remember!)

Any help or advice would be much appreciated

Must be something wrong. 122 bhp should give you pretty decent performance unless you've got it loaded up with concrete blocks or something!

Any warning lights etc.?

The srs light is on the dash but I reckon that's not related. Read up a little bit about it and people are talkin about "limp mode"

What's all that about? And check the vacume transactor??

Any help would be great

Does it rev over 3000 revs? If it doesn't she be a limper.
Star diagnostics get it reset, recheck it in a week.
Still probably won't pinpoint the fault tho.
*grumbles* fecking vitos.

Limp mode....
Get it on a star machine.
Could be a list of things. Lets hope it one of the cheaper problems.
Do a search on here for vito limp mode.
Did I mention star diagnostics?

Replaced the little pipe from the turbo to the vacuum but still lacks power and won't go over 3k revs. When I turn off the engine you can here the vacuum buzzin for a minute or two then stops... If this right??

The van is automatic by the if I didn't mention it already

Mate it could be a multitude of things.
Mine was a limper (638 110 cdi) turned out the vacuum pipe wasn't connected so turbo never kicked in.
Have you searched vito limp mode yet?
First thing tho is go have the codes read and reset.
