Benson,

Looks like you have gone to several mechanics to help sort your Berlingo.
I have used JB's Tampoi Indah mechanic since 1994. I remember you saying
that you know this centre.

I am happy with my Berlingo. I had my Berlingo stall once before and
after re starting only 3 cylinders fire but was able to drive to mechanic
and he just check the plugs and clean up.

I notice that Citroens wiring connectors are not the best. Sometimes a
bit of rust can cause problems.

My Tiara aircon recently cold air then hot air ...turned out that fuse
was faulty, sometimes got contact then contact is broken. Some more the
aircon compressor is new OEM. I thought kaput already. but fixed for RM5.

If your problem is easy to replicate, then resolving it should not be
difficult.

yes, I have visited many SC already, but just too bad my location is quite
far from the SC, so each time have to arrange a day at the SC.
I even tried the third party software AUTOLAND, the same message appear but
just the mechanic dunno which part is the culpit..
beside this funny problem. this car is the best .
yesterday did tried with the trunk Road from SEDENAK TOLL to AYER BALOI, I
think this is the worst road conditon in JOHOR, I have tried my fat berly
at high speed, 100-140KMH, surprisingly...just like a flying carpet.....

Benson, I was at Sedenak toll at about 2pm the day before yesterday too.
But I was driving my Tiara. Went to see an old KTM railway station at
Sedenak town.

They are breaking down the station and I was looking to buy the old wood
from the breaker.

The road to Sedenak town is a beaut. It reminded me of the old M`sian
roads. Sedenak town is really servicing a big Oil Palm estate.

You will find a Malay household at Sedenak town. They have 2 Citroen CX
Pallas there, about a thousand Minis and a few Morris Minor travellers. I
stopped there but the owner was not in. Should have taken my XM. One of
the CX seemed in very good shape.

Berlingo is very good. This is my best buy by far.

nad water pump, but the temperature still keeping at 90-95? I though it
suppose always maintain at 80-85, while 90 at very hot time.

Benson,

My Berlingo 1 doesn`t actually show the temperature in degrees, but it is
slightly more than 1/3 point. If 90 is middle point then mine is about 80-
85!

Are you using coolant? I think it will be around 90 when no coolant is
used. I remember when I didn`t use coolant it was about midpoint. If air-
con is off the temperature will rise.

Also, are your fans working properly? I remember a plastic sheet sangkut
in my fan before. My fan jammed and water temperature rise until my car
started beeping, sound like when you leave keys in the iginition and open
the door. I was in jam coming out of Singapore then.

I managed to get the car back to SC and turned out to be a blown
fuse...due to overload when plastic sangkut. After remove plastic and
replace fuse all was back to normal.

2/3 after 5 mins rest is just too high. It will be slightly higher but
not 2/3. Maximum mine goes it just above 1/2 , that too with aircon off
in hot afternoon in traffic jam.
I assume your fans are working properly and switching on at the correct
times???

My XM had a small leak in the expansion water tank and the temp increase
in hot weather and jam...water will seep out of joint seams...on Monday I
changed the expansion tank and sensor...now it is 1/3 temp ...max 80 in
jam.
