Heating and cooling problems in Mercedes Vito Diesel from 2007 at 122014 km

Hey guys, I have a small problem with my 2007 Mercedes Vito Diesel. At 122014 km it started not heating/cooling properly and the fan spark not properly. I think it could be due to the electric auxiliary heater malfunctioning. Have any of you had similar experiences and what was it like at the mechanic? I didn't have a good experience last time, so I wanted to get your opinions. Thanks in advance!

Summary of the thread

A 2007 Mercedes Vito Diesel with 122014 km is experiencing heating and cooling issues, potentially due to a malfunctioning electric auxiliary heater. This problem is affecting the fan's performance as well. A similar issue was resolved in a 2010 Mercedes Sprinter by repairing the electric auxiliary heater, which required a thorough investigation by a mechanic. The repair was successful, and the vehicle has been running smoothly since.

Hello, I recently experienced the same problem with my 2010 Mercedes Sprinter. In my case it was actually the electric auxiliary heater that was faulty and this actually affected the heating and cooling system. It was no easy task to fix the problem. The mechanic had to do a pretty thorough investigation to make sure everything was connected properly. But it certainly wasn't unfixable or extremely serious - it's not an engine or transmission problem, but something that tends to happen and can be fixed. Hope this helps you!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! It sounds like I have the same problem with my Vito. Do you happen to remember how much you had to pay for the repair? And has there been another problem since then, or is everything running smoothly now?

Hey, glad I could help! After the visit to the mechanic, the electric auxiliary heater was repaired and it cost me around €350. Even if it sounds a bit much at first, I think it's reasonable for the work they did. Since then, everything has been running like clockwork for me again, so fingers crossed that it will work the same for you!

Wow, €350 sounds steep at first, but I think that's a reasonable price if I can drive again without any problems. I also hope that this is the only fault with my Vito and that everything runs smoothly again afterwards. Thanks again for the reliable information. I'll make an appointment with the mechanic tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Keep your fingers crossed!
