Viano electric sliding doors/ central locking

[nick167]

Hi all
Can anyone help !
We have electric sliding doors on our viano, after the car central locks we can't open either door from the outside, we have to reach in and use the manual open which is cable operated....
After we use the manual button we can operate the doors electrically on the buttons as normal until it is centrally locked again....
Any advise wound be great

Thanks
Nick

Hi, not sure if U still need advice but its happend to my car since yesterday when I took from body shop, I have checked everywhere and find out that door(handle) cable snapped at the point where they were attatched to the metal rod that pulls the cable and to fix it I need to replace cable form handle to central lock, I think it was happened to your car as well, pls let me know if U resolved your door issue...

Isn't there a switch on the dash to open your doors?? Maybe someone has pressed the central locking button, again on the dash above the radio that auto locks the doors. Check your manual for which setting you need.

Sent from my knackered S4, so im Struggling to read owt, using MBClub UK

you guys with viano, my friend is buying one what does he need to look for apart the doors problems, it is petrol automatic model.

i heard of gearbox can go, any hints will be good, but look a bargain for 03 model around 2k

Hi nick167 - did you get this problem resolved?
We have just purchased a second hand Viano and seem to be experiencing the same problems - wonder if you could help?
Yours Hopefully Melanie
