Westfalia / Rear Brake Torque Specs

« on: July 24, 2016, 01:25:21 pm »

Hi everyone,

I'm the proud new owner of a 2000 MV and I've got a few things to get done to pass the provincial inspection, one of them being rear rotors. I haven't yet got myself a Bentley as I've only had the van for a week and I need the torque values for the caliper mounting bolts and the caliper slide bolts. I've searched high and low online but can't find a definitive answer.

Thanks in advance!

Westfalia / Re: Mercedes "Marco Polo"

I stopped in at the Mercedes dealership last week and looked at their Metris test vehicle. I was told it is primarily a hotel shuttle type vehicle. Perhaps that explains why the seats don't fold at all. They are removable but look heavy. I mentioned the Marco Polo and the sales rep said they get a lot of inquiries for them but they'll never be brought over because they don't meet the strict North American RV rules. If they sell enough perhaps some aftermarket conversion shops will pop up but it seems they won't be in NA anytime soon.
