[Engine] 2006 1.4i Berlingo Doesnt start at all. Tried everything.
#1
Hi, I have a 2006 berlingo 1.4i manual and over winter it stopped starting. I have changed the spark plugs, coilpack, cleaned out the injectors, and checked all fuses. The car turns over and is about to start and then stops. If I the ECU, and turning the engine for a bit, and then connect the ecu, it starts for a few seconds and then stalls. Only thing is that the battery is dead completely and always have to jump it from a different car for me to see if it would start or not. - Could this be the issue?

On the diagnostic tool I get these codes:
P0351
P0352
P0201
P0203
P0204
P0202
P0122
P1157
P0444

Note: I have also checked all the cables for damage or any sign of interference and dont see any. If any videos or pictures are required, I will post them. 
Does not start with start spray. so I guess fuel isnt a problem either.


Any tips what this could be, or anyone had a similar issue? Ill be greatful for any insignt into this issue.

Thank you in advance Smile

Sounds like either the crank sensor or the immobilizer. A flat battery will not help, put a good battery on! Why would you not do that already.

Hi, thanks. I will try with a good battery in the next 20min. This is what it sounds now while i try to start it. https://streamable.com/1nnbz6

Edit: The knocking is comming from the throttlebody opening and closing, sounds like backfiring.

Hi, I tried and sadly nothing. I used a larger battery that i had in another car, the starter cranks alot faster, but still nothing.

This is the video before new battery.

That video sounds like the head gasket is gone. The cranking speed is too high.

I would get a compression test done.

Thanks for the idea, Ill check the compression tomorrow after I buy the kit. Would it maybe be possible also for the cranking to be fast since I used a battery from a C300 2017 which has a larger capacity and higher starter voltage?

It can't have a higher voltage, all car batteries are 12v nominal. It can only supply the current drawn by the starter to crank the engine, no more than is already required.

Ohms law, current = (voltage / resistance).

Therefore if the voltage is the same as the usual battery and the starter has the same resistance, then the current flowing is the same - no matter the size of the battery. Engine load due to oil thickness also plays a part but the starter resistance determines the maximum.

I found the problem I think. The 4th cylinder with the cleaner spark plug has 0 compression. Therefore maybe the headgasket gave up on life. Ill be taking the head off and then ill see if there are any cracks or anything. Maybe it somehow froze during winter. Ill keep you updated.

Update. Ive been wanting to update this for a long time but didnt get around to do so. 7 out of 8 valves were bent, so I replaced all valves, cylinder lining rubber seals, resurfaced the head and now it runs like new.

Why did you do the rubber seals under the cylinder liners?

And if you did that, you might as well have replaced the bearing shells where the con rods clamp onto the crankshaft.

Also, there's some nifty rubber caps around the valve stems, under the spring. These rot out in time and will need replacing.(They stop oil from seeping down the stem. That oil gets burned off, leaving crap on the stem that slowly grind the valve sleeve down. ) I really hope you replaced those.

The 1.4i is a wonderful engine.
Mine had a hole in the headgasket large enough to poke a finger through between 2 cylinders...
THAT didn't kill it.
The E10 gasoline, though, was probably what drove the final nail in.
