1997 Mercedes-Benz Vito 110D review from Belgium
"One sentence? I could write a (horror-) book about it..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine (44,000 kms).
Aircon.
Driver's seat.
Auto-transmission.
Brakes.
Several small items (lights, switches etc...)
General comments?
I had to wait 7 months to get it (although they promised 3 at first).
The time when MB-cars where known as "just fill it up and ride it" have long been gone...).
It's impossible to ride from one service interval to the other without something going wrong.
