Hi friends,
last week i bought my own 2001 Berlingo 1,4i silver metalic. I was looking for universal swiss-knife type car for any occasion (but mostly for my small business), not very expensive, and i thought Berlingo would by the exact car, i'm looking for. It has 258 000 km, but it's condition is excellent (no rust, perfect engine, no damage on paintjob,...), and i'm satisfied. It has a few bugs, but i already fixed some. The reason i'm here, is to get to know the car as well as possible, so i won't be lost, when something goes wrong on the road.
After 1 week i fixed / made these things:
- airbag light was blinking on dashboard, so i cleaned connector under my seat
- fixed noisy plastic inner part of rear up-opening door
- fixed moving handlebar on this rear door above licence plate
- changed broken licence plate bulb
- installed new CD/USB/mp3 player (Sony Xplod) and made it to play without key in ignition, and fixed loosing its settings after turning off
Things i need to repair:
- wind screen and rear window washer
- heater control illumination
- 12V cigarette lighter socket, so i can charge my cellphone
- side door opening mechanism (it needs special care to close properly)
I am very pleased with some new features, that my previous car (Skoda Felicia GLX combi) didn't have:
- power steering system
- electric windows
- HUUUUGE space inside
- better higher seat from the ground
- excellent interior heating
Things i miss:
- remote control locking system
- superb audio system (working on a better one in Berlingo)
- managing seat position for my back (i didn't find a way to change it's possition, there is only lever for folding seat and moving upwards/downwards)
- only 1 side moving door for passengers
All in all, i'm very sattisfied with this car, and i hope it will be reliable all the time with me onboard
