Fuel system

Good day everyone! I haven't been here for a long time, for various reasons, but I decided to finish the story anyway;)

By the summer of 2015, the mileage approached 200,000, nothing special had happened since the last recall - only painted the trunk - it rusted decently. There were no special problems with the body, it was chipped, it began to peel off the paint from the thresholds with sandblasting - painted it with anti-gravity. The glass did not crack, although a couple of new chips appeared.

From the unpleasant - the lock of the rear right door stopped blocking, the heater fan almost died, some of the backlight bulbs for the buttons and handles on the dashboard burned out. On the body and interior, these are all faults.

There is much more work on the engine - repair or replacement of the generator, replacement of the belt and rollers, replacement of the cooling fan - the vibration is large, the bearing has apparently died, the clutch has been replaced, the gearbox drive has been replaced - the output is already critical, the replacement of the oil seals on the gearbox, the replacement of the tips of the spark plugs and ignition coils, recharging air conditioner. The motor itself is kept invigorating - it eats very little oil - 150 - 200 ml from filling to filling.

For brakes - replacing discs at the front and replacing or turning drums at the rear, replacing cables, flushing and replacing fluid. On the steering - the rail is still alive, you can change the tips. There are no special problems with the chassis - you can preemptively change the bearings on the rear beam, the springs on the struts in the front sank, but you can ride :), the shock absorbers are not leaking yet, you need to change the rubber covers on the rear, the stabilizer struts can be changed. The muffler burned out at the junction with the pipe (I already wrote about this - this is a weak point).

As can be seen from this list, nothing particularly critical was observed, normal natural wear and tear, even so, in July 2015, the machine turned 8 years old and the escape is quite decent. So I was getting ready to spend money and go further, but then several events took place that abruptly changed fate :) At first, the car suddenly began to stall under the gas - and it was completely unpredictable. - could drive normally for months or stall before each traffic light!

The guys at the service washed the throttle, checked the gaps - it stalls! By the method of scientific poke, they found out - rebooting the brain helps, but for an indefinite period - sooner or later it began to stall. They offered to either look for disassembly, or put a new brain. I thought :) And then the second event happened - our neighbors updated their fleet, took two Largus, a van and a five-seater. I walked around, looked, sat, drove around the parking lot behind the wheel and decided to give up without looking :) I washed the car, the day before the guys rebooted my brain and I went to trade-in, and what is most surprising is the price in general arranged.

The iconic car for family leisure is now in an upgraded version! Still cozy and functional, the new Berlingo Multispace takes on new qualities that add extra comfort to every journey.

Citroen Berlingo chased by half the world

The first owners of the modernized Citroen Berlingo Multispace, having tested the cult car in work and appreciating its merits, dubbed it Simple and Reasonable. In a five-door spacious minivan designed for family use, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, done reliably and tastefully. Protective moldings protruding from the sides, powerful body-color bumpers fit perfectly into the overall design, give the car proportionality and expressiveness. It looks stylish and elegant.

Citroen Berlingo: easy to drive, comfortable to drive

The new car, which has retained the aerodynamic front and roomy rear, differs from its relatives in soft rounded shapes, a panoramic roof and reliable underbody protection. The powerful body and wheel arches of the Citroen Berlingo emphasize its readiness for increased loads. A solid area of glazing provides natural light to the cabin, gives a feeling of spaciousness and openness. Its full face is decorated with two-level headlights, silver trims and a black onyx ribbon.

From the rear, vertical lights and a large tailgate with unusual hexagonal glass attract attention. Up to 860 kg of cargo can be easily placed in the voluminous 775-liter trunk. If necessary, in the universal car interior, which provides for a folding backrest of the front passenger seat, you can carry cargo up to 4.1 meters long. Roof rails make it easy to transport bulky luggage.

Today, the Citroen Berlingo, the price of which, according to the standard version of "M", starts at 1,385,000 rubles, is available with a 120-horse petrol engine and a 92-horse diesel one. But the indicated cost is not the limit. Additional equipment in the form of a handsfree Bluetooth headset, light and rain sensors, a leather steering wheel, the TouchDrive Navigation package and other comfort components can raise the price by another 4-4.5 thousand dollars. At the same time, special offers from an official dealer can reduce the cost of buying.
The most expensive BerlingoMultispace package includes:

six front airbags;
"smart" electronics for the distribution of braking forces;
anti-lock brake protection;
automatic braking assistance system;
front electric windows, triggered in the event of an emergency;
multifunctional Modutop roof with glazed areas, air freshener, adjustable vents.

Salon interior: ergonomics and style

A comfortable minivan with a five-seater multifunctional interior is designed for four adult passengers and a driver. In the foreground of the new Citroen Berlingo, ergonomic chairs with headrests, heating and various adjustments are installed. Moderately hard driver's seat is comfortable even on long trips. Behind - no longer a sofa, but three separate chairs, where there is enough space both in height and in length. The backrest in each of them can be individually adjusted in inclination.

In the design of the cabin, innovations and brand traditions of the brand are closely intertwined, aimed at solving one problem - functionality and practicality. Multiple compartments provided by the Modutop system, a convenient console with a shelf create an additional 93.5 liters of space for storing essentials and small items needed on the road. Folding tables are mounted in the backs of the front seats, which provide additional convenience for passengers when traveling long distances.

Progressive 2-season climate control in the Citroen Berlingo will provide fresh air. Shiny chrome round deflectors, high-quality plastic, eye-pleasing gray upholstery complete the favorable impression. Well-being and comfort in everything is the main motto, which the car fully corresponds to.

Driving comfort Citroen Berlingo

Behind the wheel of the Berlingo Multispace, the driver feels confident and comfortable due to:

convenient adjustment of the steering wheel in height and depth;
the ability to set the driver's seat for growth;
the watchful eye of the tracking system for road signs and markings;
placing the gearbox close to the dashboard.

Thanks to innovative upgrades and the availability of many options, CitroenBerlingo fully pays off the price of safety and driving comfort. The use of advanced soundproofing materials that improve the acoustic performance of the car ensures the complete absence of noise. Even after a long stay behind the wheel, the driver does not get tired, maintains steadfast attention. The basic version is equipped with anti-lock braking system ABS, tire pressure sensor, hill start assist.

Finally

Summing up, we can say with confidence that the price of Citroen Berlingo Multispace is not taken from the ceiling. It is formed under the influence of a huge set of functions and capabilities. Cruise control, speed limiter, Bluetooth and other comfort systems have one single goal - the safety of the driver and passengers. The target audience of the car are representatives of business and family people, for whom the main role is played by space, convenience of placement and optimal organization of the interior space.

Buy, own, travel with pleasure!

Finding a monocab that would perfectly cope with the tasks of transporting a group of people and goods is not an easy task. Basically, many manufacturers produce either family vans or commercial vans, but the middle ground between them is rare. But Citroen has become just that very rare brand that has launched a car on the market that perfectly combines high utility and comfort. His name is Berlingo. How has this single-volume tank changed over time and what can it offer its consumer? More on this below.

I generation (1996 - 2002)

Citroen Berlingo was the first car for the French brand that combines practicality and comfort. The monocab belongs to the M segment and has a twin brother in the form of Peugeot Partner.

On the market, the model was available in a passenger or cargo version (a van with a carrying capacity of 800 kilograms). It is noteworthy that the first generation Citroen Berlingo could boast of modest external dimensions. It had a length of only 4 meters 108 millimeters, which made it possible to operate it without much difficulty in urban conditions.

Depending on the configuration, the equipment of the French monocab included:

On-board computer.
Automatic activation of the rear wiper when reverse gear is engaged.
Heated rearview mirrors.
Washer, headlight corrector.
Hydraulic power steering.
Steering column height adjustment.
Electrically heated front seats.
Air conditioner.
Airbag for the driver.
Immobilizer.

Specifications

The power range consists of gasoline and diesel power units. All of them are equipped with a five-speed manual transmission.

Citroen Berlingo is based on a front-wheel drive platform. The front suspension is made according to the MacPherson type, while the rear is a semi-independent design on torsion elements.

I generation. Restyling (2002 - 2012)

The updated Citroen Berlingo outwardly differs from its pre-reform version in a different configuration of head optics, different fenders and a radiator grille. All this allowed to make the car more attractive in terms of design. Inside, the instrument panel has changed, a new steering wheel and a manual transmission knob have been installed.

As for technical reforms, the 1.8-liter installation has disappeared from the gasoline range of engines. At the same time, replenishment arrived in the diesel family - a 1.6-liter engine with a power of 75 and 90 forces. In addition, instead of a semi-independent beam, a full-fledged “multi-link” appeared, which made it possible to increase comfort and optimize the behavior of a single-volume vehicle on the road.

Price policy

In the secondary market, the price of Citroen Berlingo starts at 100 thousand rubles. The upper cost bar is fixed at 500 thousand rubles.

Owner Review

Citroen Berlingo is widely used in the market. Therefore, this car has a fairly large army of fans. The latter in every possible way share their operating experience and impressions about the model, which can be useful at the time of its acquisition.

The car was bought with a mileage of 100,000 kilometers. Options ̶ with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine. Currently, there are 254 thousand kilometers on the odometer, which allows us to draw objective conclusions about the operation.
You need to start with reliability. For all the time I did the following restoration work:
Replaced all shock absorber struts, as well as the front stabilizer links and springs.
Repaired the interior heater.
Replaced pump and engine cooler.

Now a few words about personal feelings ...
Advantages:
Roomy interior.
Good engine thrust.
Soft suspension.

Flaws:
Loud noise in the cabin.
Weak illumination of the head optics.
Roll control.

Despite the solid mileage, the car continues to please with its reliability and relative comfort. In the near future, I will not look for an alternative to him ...

Test Drive

Appearance

Citroen Berlingo has a neutral appearance. It evokes absolutely no emotion. The front part of the body is framed quite concisely. Head lighting optics blends well with the grille, as well as with a beveled front bumper with integrated fog lights.

The side doors of the French monocab are made sliding, which is very convenient when loading people or luggage in a tight parking lot. The luggage compartment doors are hinged and open almost 180 degrees.

Interior decoration

The quality of the finishing materials is not expected to be high - the plastic is hard and rattles when driving over bumps. However, it is difficult to find fault with the assembly - the gaps between the panels are small and even.

The instrument panel is read well due to the gray background and is quite nice. As for the center console, you can see the trip computer display and the climate control unit on it. But, the standard audio system is not provided ...

Driving properties

The 2.0-liter diesel engine accelerates the Citroen Berlingo quite briskly at medium speeds. However, at low levels, he lacks momentum, so starting off is not very convenient. The gear ratios of the box are chosen correctly, however, the "mechanics" themselves do not differ in the clarity of switching.

A steering wheel with a long steering rack makes it work actively during maneuvers in the city. The bagel is quite informative, but its sensitively extremely low. In addition, turns need to be taken more carefully due to the strong diagonal buildup. But the suspension very gently fulfills the bumps, providing a high smoothness.

II generation (2008 - 2012)

The new Citroen Berlingo retained the ideological concept of its predecessor, while becoming more attractive from a consumer point of view. He received a memorable design, comfortable interior, as well as a new platform.

The equipment list of the model includes:

Airbags for the driver, front passenger.
Steering column adjustment in two planes.
Active power steering.
On-board computer.
Air conditioner.
Fog lights.
Front power windows.
Power and heated side-view mirrors.
Pants audio system with the ability to read CDs.

For an additional fee you can order:

Climate control.
Panoramic roof.
System of exchange rate stability (ESP).
Rain sensor.
Light sensor.
Side airbags.
Cruise control.
Assistance system during parking.
Leather wrapped steering wheel.
Rear power windows.
Audio system with AUX-connector and Bluetooth.
Heated front seats.

For lovers of outdoor activities, Citroen has prepared a Berlingo with the prefix Multispace. Such a car differs from the usual modification by pseudo-metal bumper pads, a side body kit made of black plastic and other bumpers. In order to drive the Berlingo Multispace on bad roads, the ground clearance has been increased and more efficient springs have been installed, as well as a self-locking differential.

Specifications

The range of Citroen Berlingo II engines, as before, consists of gasoline and diesel units of the HDi family. They are mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

Citroen Berlingo is based on the PSA platform under the PF2 index. The front suspension is McPherson, the rear is a semi-independent beam.

II generation. Restyling (2012 - 2015)

The updated Citroen Berlingo has slightly changed in appearance. Namely, he received LED running lights, new alloy wheels, and other bumpers. Inside, the instrument panel has been redesigned, the quality of finishing materials has been improved.

The power of the 1.6-liter turbodiesel power plant has increased to 115 forces. In addition, the power steering has been recalibrated to improve handling.

II generation. Restyling 2 (2015 - present)

The next upgrade changed the configuration of the head lights and bumpers. The interior became more functional, and also acquired a modified multimedia unit with three-dimensional navigation maps, the ability to read various video and audio files.

In terms of technology, it is worth noting the final transition of the 2017 Citroen Berlingo to the completely new EMP2 platform. The power range remained the same, while the diesel modification, as an alternative to the "mechanics", received a robotic transmission with six gears.

Market price

The minimum price of a used Citroen Berlingo II is 280 thousand rubles. The new one-volume vehicle is estimated at 1 million 239 thousand rubles.

Owner Review

The Internet contains a lot of information on the operation of the Citroen Berlingo II generation. Among it are reviews about the car, which may be useful to a potential buyer of the model.

Citroen was acquired for purely utilitarian tasks ̶ to transport a large family. At the time of purchase, the mileage was just over 20 thousand kilometers, while I added another 25 thousand kilometers to this number.
For the entire period of operation, Berlingo did not fail, and even in relatively severe frosts (-25 degrees) it started up regularly. At my disposal was a variant with a 1.6-liter diesel engine (90 forces). As for the dynamics, this motor suits me completely, because in the city its traction is enough for the eyes. Diesel fuel consumption is also quite democratic - about 10.5 liters in a combined cycle.
The suspension is soft, which the family really likes, especially when traveling long distances. But I didn’t like the handling - the car is too rolly. Also, I didn’t like the way the standard audio system reproduces sound ̶ it lacks detail.

Test Drive

Exterior

Citroen Berlingo II looks attractive (adjusted for the fact that it is still a utilitarian monocab). It is worth noting a laconic front bumper with integrated LED running lights and fog lights, a chrome-plated double chevron of the brand, as well as large head optics.

A large glazing area provides good visibility to the sides, and the presence of roof rails makes it possible to transport long items and oversized luggage.

Interior

Salon assembled qualitatively and quite ergonomic. However, the abundance of hard plastic does not allow you to forget about the budget segment, in which Citroen Berlingo is represented.

The instrument panel with amber illumination is perfectly readable under any conditions and informative. As for the central console, it is worth noting its some monumentality in terms of architecture and the presence of a color display of the navigation system. The head unit has an AUX-connector and Bluetooth support.

The driver's seat is set high. Its adjustment ranges are extensive, so a person of any build can get behind the wheel. The back row is organized in the form of three separate seats. They can accommodate three large passengers up to 190 centimeters tall. If we talk about the luggage compartment, then its volume is 675 liters, which, again, is not small.

Driving properties

Citroen Berlingo with a 1.6-liter turbodiesel engine is the best option that combines acceptable dynamics and economy. The engine confidently pulls almost from idle, while at the middle it pleases with a pronounced pickup. The mechanical transmission has a close gear ratio ̶ this helps with intense acceleration and allows you to keep the engine in good shape, however, the gearbox lever upset the amplitude moves and the low clarity of gear shifts.

You can't expect much from handling - the effort on the steering wheel is insignificant, while its sensitivity is not high. In addition, when cornering, you can state high rolls, so it’s better not to drive actively on this car.

But the suspension forgives a lot. Its high energy intensity makes it possible to drive even large bumps at high speed, while not feeling strong shocks and vibrations.

What is the conclusion? Citroen Berlingo is ideal for utilitarian and family tasks. It is roomy, comfortable and affordable. No special shortcomings (relative to competitors) have been recorded, which makes it an advantageous offer for a wide audience of consumers.

Photos of all generations of Citroen Berlingo:

The Citroen Berlingo is a versatile, compact, front-wheel drive vehicle available in passenger and cargo versions. According to the European classification, the passenger modification of the model can be attributed to the SUV class (high-capacity vehicles), the cargo-passenger modification to the Panel Van class (small van).

The first generation of the car was produced in Russia and was named Doninvest Orion-M.

Citroen Berlingo is one of the best cars for a traveler. It is larger than most of its competitors and has a large luggage compartment. The car allows you to safely transport long and high loads. Another advantage of the model is a lot of additional compartments. Today, Citroen Berlingo is a versatile transport, equally suitable for work and leisure.

Model history and purpose

The debut of the Citroen Berlingo took place in 1996 at the Paris Motor Show. The French novelty was presented on a grand scale, and the main emphasis was placed on the versatility and functionality of the model. At the premiere, the brand presented 3 concepts at once with different body types. A year later, the car was recognized as the best van in Europe.

First generation

The first Citroen Berlingo was the result of a collaboration between Peugeot and Citroen. It was impossible to rank a universal combi car in any particular class. It was too big for a small car, too small for a van. Externally, the model looked pretty good, but differed little from the “classmates”: a slightly puffy top, a large glass area, classic headlights and a small U-shaped grille. The car was offered in cargo and passenger versions and could carry up to 800 kg (3 cubic meters with the seats folded) of cargo. The compact dimensions had a positive effect on the maneuverability of the car, which was extremely important for the city limits.

In the early 2000s, the production of the model began at the Taganrog Automobile Plant. The Russians were offered a car with the name Doninvest Orion-M.

First generation restyling

In 2002, the Citroen Berlingo went through a facelift. French specialists had to solve the most difficult task - to improve the model, which has not lost its relevance during the release. As a result, the design changes in the updated version turned out to be the minimum number. Off-road variations, which began to gain popularity, and the model did not receive all-wheel drive. The line of power units remained the same, consisting of 2 gasoline engines (1.4 and 1.6 liters) and 2 turbodiesels (1.8 and 2 liters).

In the design of the restyled version, the main emphasis was placed on a radical update of the front area. The headlights have acquired a fundamentally new form, the fenders, the radiator lining and the bumper have changed significantly. The developers decided to raise the hood line a little. The transformations made the Citroen Berlingo more proportional and allowed the driver to better feel the dimensions. Significant changes have also taken place in the cabin. A modernized dashboard appeared here with air duct deflectors borrowed from the Citroen C3. New elements also include an electronic clock and a 4-spoke steering wheel.

There were practically no functional changes in the model. The restyled Citroen Berlingo remained true to itself and allowed to carry large loads. The trunk of the car contained 3 cubic meters of cargo in the van version and 2.8 cubic meters in the passenger version. The number of pleasant things and compartments has increased.

In 2002, the production of an electric version of the Citroen Berlingo with a 35-horsepower electric motor was opened.

Second generation

The second generation, introduced in 2008, is currently the last one. It is noteworthy that at the time of its appearance, the first Citroen Berlingo was still being produced (the release was completed only in 2010). To separate them, the French brand decided to rename the debut model to Berlingo First. The second generation was based on platform 2 from PSA. The Citroen C4 was also based on it. The design of the new model combines power and dynamics with a wide windshield, double chrome chevrons, flowing body lines and interesting glass cutouts. At the same time, a massive bumper, high-set rear lights, wide side trims and convex shapes made the car's appearance more powerful and strong.

The dimensions of the Citroen Berlingo II have increased, which made it possible to expand the space inside. Changes in the cabin were also significant. It has become more modern and has received more electronics.

The engine range has also undergone changes. Former engines have been replaced by more economical and environmentally friendly options. This had a positive effect on the functionality of the machine.

In 2012, the all-terrain version of the model, the Berlingo Trek, debuted. Citroen was engaged in its development together with Dangel. The car received increased ground clearance and a cross-axle differential lock (front) and was positioned as an option for light off-road. For the Russian market, the Berlingo Trek was made from ordinary Berlingos, and the Dangel 4×4 nameplate was nothing more than a logo.

Device

Body Citroen Berlingo has not undergone major changes. It included a driver's compartment and a roomy "box" rear end. Volumetric bumpers, additional bottom protection and wide side moldings provided increased body protection, increasing the service life. A special painting technology has increased the resistance of the body to external influences. Even after several years of work, he retained his former appearance.

The main advantage of the model is functionality. Thanks to the sliding rear doors, a comfortable disembarkation and embarkation of passengers is achieved, regardless of the conditions. From Citroen Berlingo (option) it is quite possible to make an office on wheels. The back of the central seat easily unfolds and is ready to serve as a desk, in the cushion of the chair there is a compartment for storing various items. Noise isolation in the car is impressive. In terms of acoustic comfort, the model is one of the best in its class.

The machine is equipped with an ergonomic and comfortable driver's seat, which is adjustable in height. Comfortable working conditions are created by a steering column, adjustable in height, and a gearshift lever located on the dashboard. Due to these solutions, the work of the driver is facilitated.

Citroen Berlingo received suspension from Picasso's C4 model. The scheme, proven over the years, using the front MacPherson struts and the rear torsion beam on the trailing arms has been preserved. On previous versions, it has proven itself very well, because there have been no fundamental changes here. They also did not touch the drive configuration - all versions got front-wheel drive. This provided a comfortable ride and stability on the road.

The brakes on the car are powerful and soft at the same time. ABS is already available in the "base". Safety in the car is given increased attention. Optionally, the manufacturer offers 6 airbags, a climbing assistant, a separate locking system and special cargo securing devices. In terms of the level of completeness with safety elements, the model is a reference in its class.
