Noob to the berlingo game.

[andilicious]

Hi guys

Just bought an '02 berlingo. It needs a full service and a lot of cleaning! Ha ha. It's a 2.0HDI.

So my noob questions are.........

Best oil brand
Best oil filter brand
Best air filter brand

It needs new front shocks so are the Sachs/Bilstein/KYB/Anschler preferred?

Other than that is there anything I need to do? I know from 5 series BMW ownership it's advised to remove the swirl plates so anything like that is greatly received as well as links to any pertinent threads

The van is going to be used solely at weekends for transporting my Enduro and trials bikes around with it being used as a camper when required. It's not getting a fit out for the sleeping, just a blow mattress so that's not a requirement.

Looking forward to small van ownership.

There is a thread on oils but Total of the correct grade is good.A good branded filter is best.Look at GSF for parts & prices.Olpie oils do good prices.

Total Quartz INEO MCF is compatible and Nielsens are the best value.

Asda oil, KYB shocks from GSF, I bought 5 genuine Citroen filters off EBay for £12 and some air filters a while ago.

Asda and Halfords oil are both actually Comma oil... same stuff, different price!

While it may be supplied by comma, it doesn't mean it is the same as branded comma oil.

Do they spit in it because it's going to the cheapskate shops?

The opposite possibly (similar to branded/supermarket petrol), they don't spit the same amount of additives in. Base oil would kill most engines, the magic is all in the additives these days.
