2001 Citroen Berlingo 1.6 forte review from UK and Ireland
"Budget buy, beware they can leak!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Union between the radiator and bottom hose leaked badly, dealer fitted new 'o' ring and that lasted 2 weeks before a leak resumed. Then a new radiator and bottom hose was fitted by the dealer, this lasted 3 weeks and a leak in the same place has occured. as I type this the car is back at the garage for then to try again. All this has been covered by warranty, and I am given another car to use whilst mine is off the road.
More of a problem is the bad water ingress in the vehicle from the modutop. first the dealer changed one of the (5) glass panels, but it remained leaky!. The dealer on 2 occassions has tried to seal the rubber around the modutop, but as I type the car is with them again. rain water streams in when you first drive after the car has been parked in the rain. the front dash and floor mats get very wet.
General comments?
If any one has had similar problems or can help me in any way please do e-mail me. (c.sneezum@btinternet.com)
Otherwise the car works well!
