Hey, thanks for your reply. My Viano already has 111096 km on the clock and the last service was just recently. The problem is that the lights are still dim and flickering. With your tip in mind, I'm going to take it to the garage and have the engine control unit checked. A thousand euros is a lot, but if it solves the problem, then it's worth it. Thanks again for the helpful answer. Greetings back!

Hey, glad you got your Viano checked out. It was really just my experience and it could just as easily be something else. Even if the high price is scary at first, in the end you want the car to run safely, right? I had a similar problem with the headlights on my Vito once, it turned out to be a simple wiring issue, nothing major. So I hope for your sake that it won't be that expensive! If you have the opportunity, I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic who is familiar with your particular model. It would be really great if you could keep us posted on what they find. Good luck, hopefully it really is just a minor issue! Greetings back!

Hi, thanks for writing back. Your advice makes sense, this time I'll go to a trusted car mechanic who knows Mercedes and have the engine control unit and wiring checked. It would be really great if it's just a minor problem. I will definitely keep you posted. Thanks again for your help and support. See you then, greetings!

Hi, I once had a similar problem with my 2008 Mercedes Vito, almost the same model as yours. My experience with cars is quite limited but I still managed to solve the problem. My garage discovered that the engine control unit was faulty. It cost me 1000 euros to fix, which was quite expensive, but everything ran fine afterwards, so it was worth the money. If you need more details, it would be helpful if you could tell me the exact model, mileage and exact symptoms. I would love to help more! Greetings!
