- Viano 2.2
Hi fellow members,
I have a 2004 Viano 2.2 diesel Auto, whilst driving along the road the engine stalled and when I pulled over I restarted the engine which ran fine in Park or Neutral, but when selecting Drive the engine would die and stall out, I can select reverse and the engine will continue to run and the Van will drive in reverse?.
So I managed to get a friend to tow the van back to my house (in N with engine running), and again once I start engine all is ok until I engage Drive then the engine dies and stalls out, though it doesn't do this in reverse.
I have spoken to the local dealer who said they never service these other than oil changes (i got impression they was trying to decline the job), so I contacted a specialist MB independent who said "these vans are a f.....g nightmare - we don't touch them".
So I now have a van stuck on my drive and no idea what it could be or where to start, I am mechanically competent but really have no ideas when it comes to Auto's
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
