Hi guys,
New to this forum and new to owning a Berlingo.
Just purchased a 57 plate Berlingo 1.6 HDI and was very pleased with my little van until (yes you guessed it) the turbo has died.
I thought I had cracked it with my new Berlingo, 99k on the clock immaculate inside and side loading door and then this happens.
Having done some research on the net I can now see this is a common problem with this diesel engine and has been covered many times before in many threads. Just wondered if anyone has had the turbo replaced and not had it go again within a short period of time.
I have read all the info on turbo refitting all the new components that are recommended to be replaced , engine flushes, new filters ect ect. But the general consensus I get is that it never seems to cure the issue and the turbocharger fails again.
Having looked at prices of these vans I think I have paid the top end of the price range for the year and mileage and am wondering whether to cut my losses and not spend anymore on repairing the turbo.
Is it all doom and gloom from this point, because I think in the short time I have owned this van I think its a great little vehicle and its a shame to get rid???? Anyone got any advise?
