Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2010

1 star review

I having been looking to replace my Master van with a new shape Merc Sprinter. To date I have viewed three, all with 19 to 25000 miles on the clock and priced at £12000 to £15500 plus vat (yrs 2008 311 and 2010 313). I have been astounded by the fact all three have had excessive oil leaking from the bottom of the engine/sump areas coating the front axles. Is this an inherent problem for such new’ish vans? Also they showed early signs of rust in areas ie side door rail and had mirrors that don’t fold back. My expectations of owning a quality/prestige van with the circle badge have been disappionting and made me look elsewhere. I have driven vans all my life and looked after each one, although I do realise all vans have faults.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 316cdi 2010

4 star review

Picked up my 2010 316cdi today, it’s a replacement for a 2005 316cdi full automatic with air con. So far I’ve realised it hasn’t got the full suspension my old van had and the driving position is very different with the steering wheel leaned over like a car and the seat lower. Managed to get comfortable and link my phone while driving, so can’t be that hard. The new van has the command ntg 2.5, which seems wicked so far and the hands free quality at 70-80mph is very good because the van is so quiet. I thought it seemed a bit slow considering it was empty so we did an acceleration test off the Severn Bridge tolls with an automatic 130bhp VW Transporter, the VW is much smaller and has a sports mode but the Merc did it. We’ll see how the fuel economy goes, it’s down to 27mpg so far and thats empty, fingers crossed a few runs will get it up. The toys it has got are excellent. Whoever spec’ed this van was nuts, I was pressing buttons on the way home and set the extra water heater to start at 6am, it wasn’t even advertised as having one! Will report back as the miles stack up.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 313 2010

4 star review

I am an ice cream man and have had many Sprinters. But this is the first of the new shape ones. Although this is a 313, my ’chipped’ 208 was faster and had more torque, even though the bhp was higher! But the most annoying thing about the later Sprinters is when I pull away after working on tick over at my pitch for a day. The plumes of smoke are amazing and probably illegal. I have spoken to other ice creamers with the new Sprinter and they experience the same (all older shaped sprinters have never smoked, and all were cdi.) My MD can’t understand it.

What a heap! After getting my 2007 model replaced due to rust, after a long fight, I have the some problem again! Again I am having the same problem with the service dept, they won’t get back to me with a solution, but they will, trust me!
