Is this a diesel? Sorry, I have limited knowledge on the Vito. But I would somehow surmise your problems being linked to one another.
Low power, noisy engine, and tranny issues (shifting) can be attributed to inadequate fuel flow. The bubbles in the fuel lines are evident that you have a leak somewhere, wherein outside air is being sucked into your fuel lines. But all these are subjective until you see a mechanic that is qualified with MB's
i went to a neighbor talyer last week sir and that is also what he said regarding the bubbles in the fuel line. BUT, they cannot locate the location of the leak. one of them said, as i remember, that it might be the "fuel injectors?". will these be possible sir, they did not touched the engine cause parts may be hard to find daw.
i also called mike and the mechanics (i appreciate whoever i talked to. thank you sir) last week but they declined dahil mahirap daw talaga ang vito. they suggested na lang na its better to change the engine and transmission to keep the vehicle running.
thank you for the reply sir lowslowbenz.. btw, i reside here in quezon city, sino po sa list na binigay niyo ang mga malapit lang sa area? TIA
I suggest you try bringing the car to Mike and the Mechanics, and let them check it first. Actual diagnosis, versus conversation over the phone are two very different scenarios IMHO. One can only guess what the real problem is, over the phone. Mike and his team are very competent people.
Alternatively, have you consulted CATS? I don't know if the check-up is free, but what I do know is that the repairs would be worth an arm and a kidney. European Motors/Delodur have branches in Libis and here in Makati, you can call them thru the numbers above.
yes sir. i still plan to have the car checked in mike and the mechanics for the other problems of the car especially with regards of the fuel line.
european motors in libis is already german motors since last year ata. our mb vito had already been repaired there for a couple of times. but recently (last month po ata) when we had it checked in german motors, ang sabi kailangan daw ibaba yung makina which is worth 30k ata(if i remember it right at pagbaba pa lang ng makina yun). the mechanic also recommended us to just sell the van kasi sakit lang daw talaga sa ulo. they also said that they will also stop accepting mb vito that is why i am looking for another trusted mechanic and shops.
regarding CATS , ni minsan po hindi ko na naisip na dalhin diyan dahil it really cost a heart (heart attack dahil sa laki ng repair cost). hahah
