Hi there. I'm a new owner of 1.6 hdi as of today it's a 2006 with 75000 on the clock and a stamped book up to 67000 . Now I have never owned a Citroen of any sort before never mind a berlingo. Must say there a nice small car to drive did around trip of 76 miles in it and it's lite on the fuel! Just found this forum with a google search looks like I have some reading to do!

Hello Tom and welcome
Good choice of car however,from the mileages you quote just about everyone here will tell you to get the oil changed pronto.
Do a search on "Turbo" -theres some good advice to be had

Hello and welcome Tom. Thats excellent advice from Evdama. Total Quartz INEO 5W/30 ECS oil and a new filter of course. The engine temp at drain down is important too (90'). A check on the oil feed line filter to the turbo (if it's still in place, some people remove them).
All this info is available on the forum. Ol'Jeffers did a good post on this subject as have other members.
Best of luck

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome. Yes I have the oil to do ASAP. More than likely it will be next week end. Just have to find the right oil first. I know the Total Quartz INEO 5W/30 ECS would be the right one to use but I have never seen it in any of the local shops. May have to go with the Halfords 5-30w.
