Vito 111 cdi
Hello. I'm trying to find a 2015 or later Vito with air conditioning. I was just wondering what the deal was with the complete lack of used Vitos with aircon. Do any Vito owners have these with aircon or is it that they just don't need it.

Thanks for any answers in advance

2014 639 Viano- 651, 5sp Auto. 2009 S211- 646, 5sp Auto.
I've only had up to 2014 (639), they need air con like any other vehicle.
Of the 4 I've had they've all had AC, I didn't realise they could come w/o.

The AC working is another matter, the condensers seem to have a habit of becoming religious.

I would have expected them to come with it too but can't find any of the later ones with it. Seems like a crazy feature to omit in such a luxury brand. I'm guessing they are probably ex fleet vehicles and the businesses specced them without to keep the costs down. It's a shame as I really wanted one but I guess I'll be looking for something else.

Only the Vito left! W639/1 OM646
I went through a phase of looking for a late 639 replacement for mine (don't like the look of the 447) but quickly got fed up with the difficulty of finding one that had AC.
On top of that, the later one's will have the OM651 rather than the OM646 which I consider to be a disadvantage.
And the final nail that stopped me looking was the plated MOT emissions values on some.

I think I'll just keep running my W639/1 (with AC).

Could be right about being fleet vehicles as none of ours have air con (Vauxhall) as the cost from new is a lot extra. Not like buying a car where it becomes the normal

We've got six Renault Masters, heaven forbid, they are cr&p, but they all have A/C. I believe it is maybe standard on a Master. :)
