Please can someone help with this?
I have a 2008 120 cdi Vito.
The Gearbox sensor module has failed.
So, won’t go into to gear etc.
I have spent days trawling through web forums.
And this seems a common fault like Ignition failures.
Went to MB and they could not find part: -A639 545 05 32
Was updated to new part: M HA639 260 01 73 N/STK SHIFT SECTOR
Found out, it’s because it does not now, exist.
So, no-where has them anymore, even Worldwide MB dealers.
Have emailed loads- even aboard- to no avail.
Have sent it to two specialist repair companies in UK.
Even though you book job via part number- they could not fix it
It is not burnt out- etc.- as works randomly still.
A place in Germany fixes them – and load of German e-bay people do.
But they cannot or wont deal with Uk as Brexit.
So does any one know who can fix these in uk?
Else my van and all the Vito taxes round here – are scrap.
If this component fails- this is already my second one.
If I source from braker- the part is still 15 years old.
So will fail like previous two.
So, unless I buy used- then flog the van quick- seems futile.
I also have spent around 7k converting this to off grid camper.
And have spent thousands on maintenance.
Don’t want to scrap this van- or sell it.
Is this the future now –
Scrapped because of tiny component failure?
Come from an era 55years old where I look after things.
But no point as will be forced to bin it anyway now.
Wish I had the brains to fix these myself.
As there is going to be a lucrative opportunity for someone.
I cannot believe that no company in UK has not got the intelligence to fix these.
Just for me, impossible to know- as sent it already to companies that advertise
They fix them – so send it, wait a week to find out they cannot.
Need this for work as electrician.
So lending my mates car at moment…..
Any direction to a decent uk company would be very much appreciated.
There must be one fingers crossed
