I have a Merc Vito 110 CDi on an 02 plate. It's a great van to drive, but my locks are playing up big time. I have snapped two keys off in the van already, has anyone else had this problem?

Hello please can anyone help??? I have a 2003 Vito 110 CDI panel van done 75k.

Only this week it has been giving problems starting whether from cold or hot. when I do get it running I cannot fault it as it drives fantastic with power and runs smooth.

Although the problem started last week only today I am left with the heater plug light on when running.

Had it on a fault code reader, but states (no codes to read)

it feel like a fuel problem, but not sure...

Can anyone help please.

Hi there the guy with the starting problems I suspect you have a faulty glow plug or two which is common on this van. I think if you have them checked out you will find that's the problem. hope that helps.

Hi! I have V230 1997. need to replace rear absorber, driver side power window motor/cable, drive shaft, fuel tank (leaks) and many more thing! need help to get workshop address and price indication.

The hot or cold starting problem will be a faulty injector... do an easy DIY leak test by taking the return pipes off each of the 4 injectors and cranking engine over, and if you get more than a spit out then it's faulty and needs replacing, and your starting problem will be fixed.

As a emergency, you can get it running with a very little, and I mean very little, spray of easy start in top air flow pipe.

Hi, I have a Mercedes 110 cdi. It has no power and won't go above 3000 rpm. Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it?

The camshaft sensor is probably not reading proper, the van is running in safe mode, you need a new sensor, I suspect.

I have Mercedes Vito cdi110, and it stop giving up fuel, but when you step on the brakes, it will again restore and can be driven again. Do you know what seems to be the problem? We brought it to the dealer, but still they cannot find the reason. They say that they have to open up the engine, but it seems the computer cannot read what the problem is.

I have a Mercedes Vito 2004 119CDI and having major problems with the spare wheel cable breaking this has happened on 3 occasions now and it's been lucky it hasn't killed anyone. Lucky for on-coming traffic on all occasions flashed their lights to let me know as there is no warning and never heard or seen it go. Has anyone else had this problem, I am a courier driver and stick to the main roads now off road or bumpy roads.

I am curious to know more about the comments of the gentleman who says he has lost his spare wheel 3 times due to the cables snapping. I have just purchased a Vito 115cdi and the spare wheel is missing, and just has the 2 broken cables. I thought the spare had been stolen, but this could be the explanation. Has anyone else had the same problem?

I am getting a coe (renewed after a decade) 110 cdi. Any chance of it giving up?? And it has some prob with the injectors, but solved. How often do the injectors fail you guys. And what is the maintenance like?? Oil change every ??km and other fluids.

Hey, shall we form a Vito group in Singapore? Then we can share more info between each other. What do you guys think?

Hi there, I have a Mercedes Vito 115 CDI, 2005 model. Besides continual problems with the handbrake not being able to hold the weight of the vehicle, I have lost the spare wheel for no explainable reason, the driver's side window stopped functioning, and at considerable expense had it repaired, and now a month later almost to the day, the passenger window has stopped functioning.

I am in Cape Town, South Africa and would like any advice on how to open the panel on the inside of the door, as the screws turn but do not come out, for me to get to the window to close it. I am afraid to rip them as I don't have screws like that on a weekend, and need to close the window A.S.A.P.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I own Vito 2002. I am having problem with air-con. Sometimes it is cool and sometimes it's not. I also having problems with the interior roof lining. Has anyone encountered the same problems?

Hi. I have a 2002 Vito 110 CDI but I am only getting 16 miles per gallon of fuel? I read elsewhere that they are an economical vehicle to run. Not the case for mine... Any ideas why it's using so much fuel?

It starts every time and runs perfectly, though the glow plug light remains on after start, but I know that's due to a faulty glow plug.

Any help/advice appreciated.

Hi I have a 52 plate Vito. It will start when cold but after I have driven it for a while it will not start when warm.

Please can anyone help. Thank you...

Hi there.

Was just wondering if the fault with the Vito 110CDI was in fact the camshaft sensor?

Many thanks.

I do believe the answer to that question is to replace the diesel filter? I seem to remember experiencing that fault before!

I own 2008 Vito 115 LWB, bought new in December 2008. The white paint is very chalky and will not polish or shine.

It gets washed every few weeks, but no polish in the first year.

Just turned 130K this week, and a new water pump was fitted after it developed a leak at the weep hole ($980).

Also the steering lock failed, leaving me stranded after filling up with fuel, because the ignition would not work ($1165).

Third set of tires fitted this week ($800 set), two sets of front brake pads ($320 a set), and one set of rear pads ($182).

After all that, it drives extremely well; good fuel consumption and power, but the paint looks bad.
