Citroen Berlingo

Torn clutch cables (Diesel bis 2007)
Gearshift rod defective (Benziner bis 2006)

Let me insert my comments as an owner of M59

Citroen Berlingo

Generator defekt (2005). it was not a defect of generator. It was defective pretensioner roller.
Kupplungsseilzug gerissen (bis 2007). There wasn't any torn clutch cables. Main problem of these cables is self-adjustable mechanics. TTL of it 25-40 thousands km.

Kraftstoffpumpe defekt (Benziner 2005). My car was born in April of 2008. I replaced this Kraftstoffpumpe last week. Thanks to Robert Bosch GmbH for "good" quality (Scheisse).

Kupplungsseilzug gerissen (Diesel bis 2007)

Schaltgestänge defekt (Benziner bis 2006). They didn't do any improvements. Problems is not solved

Zündkerze feucht, verschmutzt (bis 2005) FW defect

Zündspule defekt (bis 2006) But only one thing they did. They changed a supplier.
