1998 Mercedes-Benz Vito 113 review from Australia and New Zealand
"You get hammered when servicing it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Merc Vito 1998 2.0Ltr petrol engine 5 speed manual.
Apart from the usual problems this model has, most of them already listed on this website already.
My gear box has problems, I haven't been able to get fourth gear for the last 12 months, and in this last week I can't get third gear either.
Mechanics here don't know or just over quote to repair.
Any suggestions, or it may be a second hand gear box at a reasonable price.
General comments?
The van drives and handles well, I enjoy driving it.
The floor pan is low; easy to load my motorcycle, and it has the convenience of the two sliding doors I personally need.
