2004 Mercedes-Benz Vito 111 CDI review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery intermittently draining due to some fan or pump in behind dash, or the back of the engine bay, which keeps coming on when it likes during the night.
Major rust for the age of the vehicle.
Wheel centre caps have come off whilst driving.
109 bhp engine feels quite flat on motorway unless you give it max revs in every gear (2500 - 3600rpm very flat).
Can't put racking along the left hand side of van due to the spare wheel mounted there?
Some interior plastics insecure.
Rear and side door stops/hinges/runners poor.
Electric windows sometimes need a double click to get into operation (the door thinks it is a mouse LOL).
Loud clunking noises appearing from front end when the steering bottoms out on full lock.
Notchy 1st gear.
General comments?
It's at the mileage where some TLC is required, and I've probably been spoiled with previous newer and more robust vans from my previous company.
All the dookits and the paperwork holder are well thought out.
Nice tight turning circle.
