vito van not quite right - martin66
Hi,

I have got a 4 year old Mercedes Vito van 108cdi with a 2.1 diesel engine. I find it stalls easily if I let the clutch in too quickly and it is only getting 27 miles per gallon. Otherwise it seems to run OK. Is this normal or is there something wrong with it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Martin.

I've been told it might be the cold start needing adjusting, does this seem possible? It seems wrong that I have to rev the engine whenever I let the clutch in to stop it stalling. Anyone know about Vito vans?

Thanks,

Martin.
