not a berlingo owner but just bought a Nemo (been told same difference! off other Citroen owners.. but you guys will say otherwise no doubt!)
Hoping to find some answers to a problem with starting the motor, 2009 1.4 I think it a key error as I'm getting the car and padlock sign and the g=fob looks like its been messed with it does work sometimes.
Been told injector or glow plugs at fault and about a grand Sad

which is what I have just paid for it so I am gutted

As a Newbie not sure how I post or find help
if anyone can help me be appreciated
Thanks

You could have a few problems going on there but you are not going to know until you have got a diag done.

you need to find some kind of independent Citroen specialist ideally. The 1.4 do seem to suffer from injector problems but i doubt the immobiliser problem is anything to do with that.

Basically, your light tells you that the transponder in the key is not always recognised by the car's ecu. The two components need to recognise each other each time you put the key in, so you may have an eis fault, but until you get the codes read - a good Indie or Citroen dealer will do this for you - you won't get much further.

If you just bought the car from a car dealer, then take it back and tell them to sort it. If you bought it privately, then the advice above is the way forward.

(04-01-2018, 08:41 AM)Hi and thanks for the help guys, been twisting and turning that key some this morning, now it won\t start even when the car and lock icons goes out (not very often) and the glwplugs go out. Tried resetting things (kept thinking was a wind up like game for a laugh) drivers window down bonnet battery off wait 3 mins side lights on etc etc the key fob central locking never worked the key looks a mess but still has the chip inside it keep getting the padlock and car icon warning also the triangle is on all time and a fuel-cut off warning, got the car private so will try and get towed into a dealers was wondering if getting the immobiliser bypassed may work but that ain't cheap £185 when it was running it sounds and runs sweet I don't think the injectors are at fault no smoke and never cuts out Wrote: Basically, your light tells you that the transponder in the key is not always recognised by the car's ecu.

Have you only got the one key?
If you've got two, try the second key.
Guess you've already thought of this!

hi Gravity yes just the one key must be dead as the key doesn't do anything other than fit the locks no central locking etc, just don't want to bin a load of brass into it and get deeper in debt hopefully I van get good firm round to diagnostic test it
