2.0 front strut question

[jonnie100]

I need a second hand front suspension strut for my 2004 2.0 hdi berlingo.
Looking on ebay and not many for the 2.0. but plenty for the 1.6 and 1.9. Are they all the same or does it have to be a 2.0 one?
Thanks.

I think you'll find that they are the same , only difference will be the springs.
I got two new ones last year for 35.00 each (2001 model 1.9) and they were listed as zx,xsara or berlingo .

My '04 2.0 has very strong springs as I discovered when I needed to change the bearing at the top of the strut. Even the local garage struggled a bit to get it compressed. I expect the struts are the same as Brodfather says but just in case I'd check the part numbers.

Thanks for the advice.
So the 2.0 has stiffer springs I presume? I tried replacing a spring a couple of years ago and it was a nightmare so ended up taking it to a garage to be compressed.
I've managed to pick up a s/h strut with spring off a 2.0 on ebay for £20.
