Can anyone tell me if they have a 2011 sprinter motorhome 316 cdi. Thinking of buying one it is an Australian version do you have any trouble with the automatic transmission pleas Phillip Lockett.
2010 316CDI trade van fully loaded and about 50kg under GVM which is fully rated at 3550kg. Probably similar overall weight to a motorhome perhaps?
5 speed auto never missed a beat and now at 150,000kms. I drive it easily (don't accelerate or brake hard) if that would make a difference?
I feel that it often sits in lower gears a bit to long at lower speeds but that is overcome by just swiping the auto gear lever right for a change.
Hi Phillip,
I have just joined too.
I have an Autosleeper Worcester which is based on LWB 316 163BHP auto, it's max plated weight is 3880kg, drives well gearbox a little slow to change up but no complaints. I towed a trailer weighing about 1000kg, engine struggled a bit on lack of torque on steep hills and long inclines, gearbox was fine.
