Hi everyone I've just purchased a 2012 XTR 1.6 diesel. I looked at various vehicles before going for the Berlingo including the Skoda Yeti, Ford C Max etc but decided that for the price the Berlingo seemed to be the most versatile of the bunch. I was well impressed with the 1.6 diesel performance and loved the way Citroen have used all available space. Here's hoping I've made a good choice.
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you all
Cheers ian

Hi Ian and welcome to the forum. Remember to change the oil and filter a lot more often than recommended by Citroen and it is critical that you use the proper oil. It must meet the B71 2290 spec. I use Total Quartz Ineo ECS 5W-30 and change every 9K km.

thanks for the info'. I pick the car up tomorrow 23rd Dec so will change the oil when I get it, better safe than sorry.

Ahh, you'll have something parked on the drive on boxing day. Very good. Yes, the 1.6 HDi's have sensitive turbos. Regular oil changes are cheap insurance.
