Berlingo MkII 2.0hdi. What are they like? Any reviews?

[demag]

I fancied a Berlingo for years. I always liked the look of the MkII Desire 1.6hdi with air con and Modutop. So when I got the chance I sold a perfectly good Skoda Roomster (apart from the heater) and bought a MkIII.:S Don't ask me why, maybe I thought newer is better. Anyway after 3k gentle mileage the turbo has blown. Lucky for me its under warranty. However it's scared me off now. I'm debating whether to sell it on and get a 2.0hdi MkII. I know Lighty and others have said as long as the turbo feed filter is removed it should be ok. So what about the MkII is it ok? Is the 2.0hdi better than the 1.6, whats the difference between them?

ive a 2004 mk2 desire 2.0hdi. and what a cracking little car i think it is.the 2.0hdi has plenty of power and im getting around 45 mpg. ive had a fair assortment of cars including bmw mercs and many more but this little car always put a smile on my face.....love it!

[BERLINGO 2L HDI]

Im just part/ex my Mk 2 for a Mk 3. It is a Mk 2 2L HDi. It has 162,000 on the clock and has been a fantastic car. I couldnt recommend them highly enough.

well we bought our 2.0hdi in 2003 (flo)and we run 2 cars and has seen off reanult laguna 150bhp, 2003 golf sport 130bhp.2003 vw passat 130bhp 2008vw touran 1.4tsi 140bhp volvo v70. long trips were always the berlingo south of france etc. we have bought a new mk 3 egs 1.6 in 2012 and it may be time to get rid of the flo. only because we need more space which the mk3 has.the second car is now a miniclubvan.
