Can you jump start a Mercedes Vito W639?
I was speaking to a respected Mercedes commercial / Vito mechanic the other day and the conversation moved toward the correct method to jump start or charge a W639 Vito. He had seen several instances where people ‘not-in-the-know’ had jumped the vehicle from the under-seat connection and caused fatal damage to the ECU.

Where is the blue wire on a Vito van?
This van has an ecu controlled charge system- unlike many – A blue wire runs from the alternator to pin66 of the Ecu.. That wire should be very very carefully checked for connection faults at each end -and along its length..

Why does my Vito 115 CDI not start?
I have a Vito 115 cdi. Had it serviced, 59,000km, brought it home no problems. Next day went to start it, put the key in, turned it, and all lights etc came on but would not start, absolutely nothing. Pulled the key out put it back in and it started.

Where is the jump start terminal on a Vito?
You can buy a lead for modern cars to prevent damage, it goes from cigarette lighter to cigarette lighter, it works very well in just 5 minutes. Which vito is it mk 1 or 2? mines a 2 and has a jump lead terminal under the bonnet by the fuse box. Slide the seat fully forward then lift off the cover.
