Mercedes Viano Gearbox | Standard Exchange

When should the Gearbox Viano be replaced?

From a theoretical point of view, the gearbox of your Viano should hold as long as the minivan itself. In practice, however, events can change the situation and require the part to be replaced as soon as possible.

Damage can have several causes. We can thus quote the bad maintenance like the name respect of the periodicity ofthe oil change Gearbox automatic mercedes viano or oil changes too spaced out on a manual transmission. The quality of the oil Gearbox v iano can also cause alarming failures. If it is unsuitable, it will not be able to perform its full lubricating function. Lubrication of the transmission system is, however, essential to the performance of your minivan. If the oil is too viscous and/or too dirty, the gears will not shift. You'll have to force it to overcome the resistance encountered at each gear change and this will cause progressive or sudden deterioration.

The gearbox may also deteriorate due to unsuitable driving conditions. This can refer to road conditions, the way you (or someone else to whom you entrust your minivan) behaves behind the wheel and of course accidents.

When the gearbox is acting up, the effects on the vehicle's behaviour are rarely long in coming. You may feel jerking or feel like your lever is resisting even though you're already pushing the clutch to the maximum. You may also get a burning smell coming from the gearbox. It's possible that the degradation may manifest itself as creaking and/or thudding every time you engage a gear. Sometimes, one or more gears will jump out of gear without you being able to do anything about it.

The rule is simple: any anomaly is to be taken seriously. Be attentive to your Viano and note any unusual reactions that you may have and report them to a professional, who will then give you a personalised and precise diagnosis.
