| Cheap van. 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport? | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | billybob | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I am looking for a cheap knock around van. It will only be used occasionally, not something that I am going to be putting 20,000 kms/year on. The Toyota Siennas are too expensive, the Honda Odysseys are too expensive, I cannot find a Toyota Previa, and I cannot find an Mazda MPV. I can find all kinds of cheap Dodge Caravans, but Caravans are also rolling piles of garbage. I found a 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport (Montana) for a really goid price. I was wondering if this van is half decent at all. I am sure that it is not a great van by any streach of the imaginati ... | |||||
| 2016 Mercedes Sprinter Cargo Van opinions | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | malibulou3000 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty! Long time lurker, but first time poster. I have spent much of COVID dreaming about a camper van, and have a few questions about the Mercedes Sprinter van. Do they really last? What is your take on Mercedes Sprinters? 2WD, 4WD, 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder does it matter when we talk about longevity which engine is in there? The internet says the diesel engine can get 500k, but is that true? I know you generally say to stay away from Mercedes, but the Sprinters seem to have a reputation to run a long time and hold their value. Price How ... | |||||

| Here is what I know Scotty says about them from memory:The Chevy Astro and Express vans are decent vans compared to GM's carsThe Transit is an OK van, they can be alright and some customers are happy with what they get but they do tend to have problems as they ageThe Sprinter van is a good van, especially the diesels, the gasoline not so much.The Nissan vans aren't that good, buy a Toyota Sienna as well.** Not what Scotty says, but I'm telling you, forget about the RAM. Its just a Fiat Ducato, as a direct competitor the Sprinter and Transit are MUCH bett ... | |||||
| Why Scotty don't have any VAN video? | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | jabalv | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I'm watching him for the last couple of months and searching through his youtube videos, but haven't found any proper van video. Can he make some van videos about how to choose one, maybe some review? Hasn't he worked on any Transporter van? I'm talking about the ones like - VW Transporters, Ford Transit Custom, Toyota HIACe, Mitsubishi delica etc. | |||||
| Citroën Van. | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | PeterMostyn | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I live in Britain, and have a ten year old Citroën Berlingo van. It had over 150,000 miles on it when I bought it three years ago. It now has over 200,000 miles, but has corroded wiring, which means that the computer is not always working. I am saving up for a Royal Mail van, which is exactly the same as the Citroen, but a Peugeot instead of the Citroën. Do you have any advice for how to keep my existing van working, for as long as possible please? The computer has stopped showing the genuine mileage, but the mileage shows how good these vans are. | |||||

| Tire load capacity | 21Relevance | 2 years ago | Siroiz | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a 2010 Honda Odyssey LX. I ordered Calipers, brake pads, rotors, and tires for a weekend project. The van calls for and has on it now, 235/65r16 102T. I ordered 235/60r16 100H. When I look up the load capacity for the tires it is a little over 1,700lbs a tire. The van manual says the van weights is around 8,410lbs. I know the tires will fit the van, but I am worried they aren't up to par when it comes to weight and that makes me question the safety of it all. Should I send back the tires and get new ones? Or will the tires I ordered be safe? Any in ... | |||||
| Chevrolet Express van persistent misfire | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | trrota | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, I have a 2006 Chevy express 2500 van with 150K miles. I have a random misfire code that no one can figure out the cause. I had four different car repair guys check it out and I still have the code. While this was happening I had the right cat go bad so that was replaced engine code 300 still there. Yesterday I had the left cat replaced because van couldn't get out of its own way, ran terrible and I heard the rattle in the pipe that you mentioned once before. Any way it runs better know but the random misfire code is still there. Typical things like ... | |||||
| Should I buy a 2001 Mercury Villager | 26Relevance | 1 year ago | Scott Ilgert | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... have commented in a few of your videos on YouTube. I'm searching to buy a little older, used mini van just to have as an extra vehicle for a while and add to my small fleet of used goodies, and I just located and spoke to a nice older woman who has a 2001 Mercury Villager with 122,000 meticulous miles on it for sale and asking $2,650. It's old, but sounds amazing, as its originally from Arizona and a very old man had it, and its only been in Minnesta for 3 years and the current owners are an old couple who have driven it very sparingly themselves as an ext ... | |||||

Which was not easy in a small town, no one had the parts! Took a few days to get the parts in but we got it. Timing belt was last changed at 95k (Now has 284k!! yikes), we had NO time to change timing belt so they fixed the oil leak, changed the fluids, button it up and decided to drive home. Drove 15hrs home (didnt push it, did at speed or below, just easy going)Got home and gave ... | |||||
| Answer to: '03 Sienna Hesitation | 21Relevance | 3 years ago | RMG | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I also took the van to the Toyota Dealership Service and they ran a diagnostic scan that cost me almost $400. No trouble found. What is next? I'm out of ideas. Two things are known 1) the issue occurs only after the van has warmed-up. 2) the issue irst occurred after the van sent a check engine light about the catalytic converter. I had replaced the upstream and downstream O2 sensors and ran two cans of catalytic cleaner. The error code did not return and the van passed Virginia emissions test. | |||||
| What are some Reliable Work Vans from 2012-2020? | 21Relevance | 5 years ago | Collidingrreallying | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My father is thinking about purchasing a new work van to replace is aging 97 Chevy Express 2500. That van was very reliable, especially considering his neglect of regular maintenance on the van. We want a reliable work van, but we've seen Shorts on YouTube say how Ford transits go through transmissions and engines quickly, and obviously we know how Scotty says that Nissans, modern Chevies, Dodge, and Mercedes products are poor quality and hard to work on. What vans are reliable and fairly easy to work on? | |||||

| ... be needed, but opinions vary quite a bit. That said, I agree with you that it would make sense to re-align them. The van in question is a cargo van (the promaster city, not promaster) with a relatively low center of gravity as far as I can tell (it's a few inches shorter than my OEM jeep wrangler). The van is 74" high. Folks routinely add spacers to the front only to level the van since, as you know, it's higher in the back and only levels when fully loaded. Anyhow, thanks again for the post. Since the Promaster City is basically a poorly built Fiat Dobl ... | |||||
