Speed limiter

[Rmacca13]

Hi....I have bought a 2012 citroen berlingo.  There seems to be a speed limit set on the van at around 65/67mph.  Does anyone know how I can get this removed?

Most ex fleet vans have this limiter applied, but it can either be in the ECU software (Citroen can remove it) or its a hardware box hidden somewhere, most people have had zero luck removing it themselves.

Unfortunately, unless you can contact the original supplier of the van to find out what type of limiter has been fitted, you may never find out. Does it have cruise control?

Try pressing the pedal firmly into the carpet, the factory limiter (which can be set or reset by the user if it has cruise control with a "limit" setting on the switch) has an over-ride function using a switch in the throttle pedal, if pressed firmly to the floor the limiter is bypassed, but if it is a fleet limiter (ex-hire or ex-british gas etc) then you have little chance of removing it. If you knew it was in the ECU firmware, then Citroen Dealers can remove it. If its a hardware box, it could be hidden behind the glovebox and it might be possible to disable it by removing the fuses from inside the box itself (the boxes are usually marked Romatic-80) otherwise, you are stuck with it.

Many have asked the question all over the internet and spent hours and hours or lots of money trying to remove them, with little success. We get one or two every month at times asking the same thing.
