Does anyone know how the model numbers for Merc Vito vans work, it does not appear to refer to van size or engine size, now very confused any help welcome, cheers.

Think its down to engine power...... not positive on that though...

Seriously now, I think the 108 is 80bhp, the 110 is 100bhp and the 112 is 120bhp.

i belive thats correct Christian, there all the same engine, just detuned, we can chip the 108 to 150bhp

Tony Ryan

150bhp ,!
Mines about 140 and wheelspins in 3 gears , its a fkin nightmare unless its loaded up ! Great fun for pissin off Sprinters at above 100 mph tho , lol.
mines a 108cdi , superchipped onto 112cdi +++ apparently . The engines are all the same its purely the management that differs.

im so glad its not just my brakes then

i've got a 112cdi auto 90kw 300nm, quite nippy but yep you guessed it shit brakes. Merc have replaced brakes including discs 5 times now all done under warranty lucky enough and have now fitted after market pads! Back to post, i think the 112 is auto only and all the engines are the same size but the more powerful ones have a variable vane turbo as well as the engine management.

I have a metallic blue 110 CDI and my brakes are good however I did them myself and used Mintex pads and not Merc ones. It has been a good van to me which is a pity as I want a bigger van but I dont like the drive of Sprinters.

Christian is right the 108 is 80 bhp the 110 is actually 102 bhp and 112 is 120 bhp.

PS Mine is for sale as well

Thanks for the replys. So maybe best for another post but what van if not a Vito would you buy??? Renault Traffic??

Cheers again.

i got a vauxhall vivaro,

been a cracking van, done 36k in 18mths with only a small problem in that time, dont go bad when chipped either

AlexF

all merc commercial vehicles work in the same way


weight is the 1st number..... power is the second...

so a 108 is a 1ton 80 bhp

814 is a 8ton (well 7.5) with 140 bhp




by the time you get to the cabs your talking 2530 = 25 ton 300 bhp and the like lol

Taz

I think only the common rail CDI ones can be chipped. I may be wrong though.
