1999 Mercedes-Benz Vito 220 review from Netherlands
"Nice, comfortable, spacey, driving as in a bus, but to expensive and too many unexpected repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Control-er of the automatic transmission failed.
Dashboard speedometer/RPM unit failed.
Front-window cracks to easy.
Inner rust developed between the lower chassis front/back welding.
Roof seals dried out causing leaks.
Engine pre-heater failed.
Pneumatic pump for pneumatic springs failed.
ABS box failed.
Front-plate inner grill-plate rusty.
Leather looks plasticized after 7 years.
Inner roof lining comes down.
General comments?
Looks like they beefed up the car from a cargo version to fast. All additional items required for this beef up failed.
