Drove the 180 miles today to pick up our new Berlingo Plus and I have to agree with HJ65 (new XTR) owner , I did not get any mats either (even cheapies) apart from a 12 inch square section cut from a cardboard box lying on the driver side floor!
Dealer had kindly put enough fuel for 80 miles or so (his reckoning) in it but from 150 yards from the dealer it was running with a stuttery misfire on light throttle on bends and I stopped to put half a tank of diesel in it within 2 miles at the nearest garage . This thankfully sorted the misfire and saved a return journey to dealer and I am pleased to report we had a quiet and surprisingly refined journey home .
Only downside is a slight wiggle from the back end when travelling over bumps on our wonderful roads I noticed a couple of times. Almost as if there was a slight rear wheel steer for a millisecond as the rear suspension sorts itself out.
Typically we left dealer in NE England in shirt sleeves and late 20's and arrived home after carefully observing running in, in a monsoon with visibility at times down to 100 yards with mist/fog/spray !! Car which was nice and shiny 4 hours earlier now looks like a refugee from the RAC rally...
Dealer swears that there is no dpf fitted to (90 hp) engine but everything is well shielded and weather is too bad now to investigate further. Does anyone know if the new 90hp are fitted with DPf, s and /or tank of liquid cleaner, Fap??. Engine is reputed to be Euro 5 compliant so I would have thought so? Will check with Citroen UK now I have a chassis number. cheers...
