- 1997 Vito 108D 2.2
Greetings to one'n'all
After what seems to be a century or so driving, I've bought myself a Merc. It's a 1997 Vito 108D with a 2.3 diesel engine. The last diesel I worked on was big, camo'd & had a gun on the top.
As a new guy to this make, I have of course, loads of questions.
Can I assume that my new toy has a timing chain and not a cambelt? And has it got self adjusting tappets? My last diesel never had either!
Also, would any of you kind gentlefolk out there tell me where I can locate the coolant temperature sender on my engine? The temperature gauge doesn't work, but the thermostat does.
I've spoken to the local dealers and they reckon it's near the water pump, but I can't see anything. It can't be near the thermostat 'cause I can't find any wires running to it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
