Hi All, just a few days into ownership of a 16 plate 32k mile Berlingo Bluehdi XTR 100.
It's a nice upgrade from our 2003 Berlingo 1.4i.
The only issue is what I feel is an excessively noisy gearbox. It whines quite loudly in 3rd and 4th between 30 mph and 45 mph - right where you don't want it. It's quite whirry indeed.
It's really quite loud and a bit like an old metro to listen to. You can hear it over the radio.
I was wondering if this is normal?
What kind of response can I expect from the supplying dealer? " Oh they all do that" or "well it still works and hasn't failed so suck it up"
Bit disappointed really and want this far to run for years.
Appreciate any pointers/ advice.
Thanks very much.
