If you own a Citroen Berlingo from 2018 onwards, understanding the nuances of maintaining its engine can be crucial. Occasionally, even the most dependable vehicles like the Citroen Berlingo may require significant engine work or, in some cases, the need to consider a reconditioned engine. With my 15 years of experience as a master tech mechanic, let's explore the typical issues, their symptoms, possible causes, and the usual repair processes involved with a Citroen Berlingo's engine.
The Citroen Berlingo is generally reliable, but engine problems can still arise, especially as mileage increases. Common symptoms that might indicate a need for a closer look or a complete overhaul include unusual knocking sounds, excessive smoke from the exhaust, loss of power, or increased oil consumption. These symptoms can result from wear and tear over time or could be due to more acute malfunctions.
The root causes of engine problems in the Citroen Berlingo can vary widely, but often include overheating, insufficient lubrication, or even failure of internal engine components such as the head gasket, pistons, or valves. These issues may lead to the engine's performance degrading over time, necessitating either comprehensive repairs or the installation of a reconditioned engine.
Repairing or replacing an engine in a Citroen Berlingo involves several steps. The process typically starts with a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint specific issues. If a reconditioned engine is needed, the existing engine will be removed, and a reconditioned one will be installed. This process requires precise technical expertise and can be both time-consuming and costly.
Given the complexities and potential costs associated with repairing or replacing an engine, you might find it more feasible to sell your Citroen Berlingo.

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.

Our team will walk you through the settlement process.

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.
