If you're driving a Citroen Berlingo from 2018 onwards, you might encounter a common issue known as a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) fault. With over 15 years of experience in vehicle mechanics, I've seen my fair share of these issues, and I’m here to shed some light on what might be causing this problem, its symptoms, and how it can be fixed.
The DPF is a crucial component designed to capture and store exhaust soot to reduce emissions from diesel engines. However, the DPF can become clogged if the van is frequently used for short trips where the engine doesn't reach the optimal temperature required for the soot to burn off, a process known as regeneration.
Other contributing factors may include:
Recognizing the signs of a DPF issue in your Citroen Berlingo is key for timely intervention. Typical symptoms can include:
The repair process generally begins with a diagnostic check to confirm the DPF fault. If the filter is simply clogged, a manual regeneration might be recommended. This involves driving the vehicle at a set speed on a highway to increase the exhaust temperature and initiate the burn-off process. However, if the DPF is damaged or excessively clogged, it might require physical removal and cleaning or completely replacing it, which can be costly.
Dealing with a DPF fault can be complex and expensive. Sometimes, it might make economic sense to sell your Citroen Berlingo and perhaps upgrade to a newer model or a different van that better suits your current needs.

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
