How are yas? Fergus here from Ireland. Drove my Berlingo over to Iceland through Denmark back in September. Great road trip if anyone thinking to do it.
Long story short, she's been having trouble starting the last few months. Always does in the end but its coming to a head. -->I've got a 2006 1.9 Diesel Berlingo.
Ive had it fully serviced; brakes, filters, oil , timing belt etc. New battery too.
Last week after a few cold days (-6 or so), she just wouldn't start. Got to the garage and after a night inside and some anti freeze in the tank she started again. But it can't just be the cold as was giving trouble before that.
The usual process was: Starts up, then cuts out. Then takes about 3-4 more attempts to get going.
Then if I gave it just a little throttle as I was starting it , I could sometimes get it to stay alive first time.
Someone told me maybe glow plugs?
Going home next week for 9 days so worried about the return leg on 2nd January.
Any inout would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
