Hello All
I'm a Berlingo virgin. I bought a 53 plate Berlingo 1.9 diesel from bloke in High Wickham off Ebay a few months back. Great van with 135k on the clock. Not too bad; local mechanic replaced the erg valve and fuel pump with second hand parts and adjusted the timing. I changed oil, oil filter and air filter. Fuel filter was filthy. Mechanic also advised new fuel pump housing which he suspected as letting in air. I got a replacement and changed this.
Runs much better, but it judders very occasionally. No real pattern to it. It runs great generally, but randomly it "coughs" for a few seconds. If you lift your foot off the accelerator momentarily, and then put your foot down gently, all is well again. It never does it when cold. When under load (e.g. accelerating uphill) it seems to be fine.
I was thinking of chucking some cat cleaner through it. And some injector cleaner. Any one got any more specific ideas. Many thanks in anticipation. Stu
