Hi everyone I have a 1.9d Citroen berlingo multispace owned it for some time now. Bought it with a few problems needed the valve gasket doing and new wishbones and Gave it a service about 9 months ago and just passed a MOT. I enjoy working on my cars so would like to know if I can sort the problems out myself. I've never owned a desiel so bit stuck.
Since the MOT I now have loads of problems with the engine I'm hoping you could help me with them .
The first problem I have is it has stopped starting in the morning. I find if I jump it with another car it's starts a bit easier but still has problems, tested the battery and that's okay but thats as far as I have got.
Today I was driving along and it started to over heat and steam came from the bonnet pulled over to see what was going on. I opened my bonnet and checked everything. There is oil in the coolant tank which wasn't there yesterday and the radiator was cold so assume that the thermostat has gone but can't figure out why there's oil in the coolant tank. Theres no water on the dip stick nor the oil cap So I assume it's not the head gasket.
The last thing is I've started losing power steering fluid....
Thanks in advance if you can give me any solution for any of the problems
