Question

We have a new Mercedes Viano but traction is not good on mud or on ice/snow in the alps. Do Mercedes make a limited slip diff that would fit this axle and where can I find more information?

Accepted Answer

Hello and Welcome to justanswer...

 

You are right of course - traction is not at all good - very much like the whole range of rwd Transits...

 

I have checked all the info I have and I don't see anything on a Mercedes LSD.... As to where you would find more info - your local dealers should have the right up to date info on that...and whether they have anything in the pipeline... so give them a call and see what they have to say.

They were not offered as an option as far as I m aware.. even as of 08.

 

For now - all I can think of is a change of tyre type - it may be worth looking in to...

 

I Sincerely hope I have helped you - Please ask me if you need more help...

 

Kind Rgds,.... MIKE
