- Vito Sport 2002 2 liter diesel automatic
Advise please
Purchased Vito sport automatic 2002 for £2000
Imidiatly had starting problem when engine became hot
Van went back to garage
Replaced diesel pump and cam sensor, price £240
Picked up van driving home stopped twice, called AA twice, hot start problem, they got it going with easy start, carried on exhaust fell off
Took it to Mercedes specialist they replaced the pressure garage on the fuel rack, price with exhaust and mot £690
Hot start problem has not been resolved :neutral:
A frined and diesel machanic suggest that as it starts with the use of esay start the problem is more likely to be electrical?
Why did the Merc garage not put it on their star machine or what ever they call it?
Should this be my starting point, take it back and insist they put it on their diagnostic computer..?
Or should I get rid of it and count my losses?
Any advise welcome... I love the van but do not want to keep spending in it
Thank you
