Hi guys,
I have a Berlingo 1,6 multispace gasoline 2011 with some 90 000 kilometers under its belt.
It has been regularly serviced and has worked without problems.
Now, I have an issue with the car. It begins when I feel weird jerking acceleration and then the engine fault light comes up.
When I park my car, the ventilator fan runs like crazy. When I check the error codes with a code reader it says P1340 and sometimes also P1340P.
When I erase the errors, the car works like new! But after some time (it can be months of days) it comes up again!
When it appeared first time, a year ago, I erased the error code. All problems disappeared and the car worked ok but I suspected that spark plugs can be the issue. So, I got the spark plugs replaced at the annual service. It was ok for long time but few days ago it came up again! I erased the code and it worked OK for 3 days but today it appeared again. Always the same. Jerky acceleration, then the engine fault light, then after parking the fan stays on.
Is there something i could do by myself before taking it to garage? What could be the problem (spark plugs should be ok)? Anyone experienced similar issue?
Thanks in advance, i am delighted to find this forum
Sorry for my bad english, please ask if you need me to try to explain better.
