Why you SHOULD buy a Citroen Berlingo Multispace - Buyers Guide

[@aamoir536]

September 2023, just bought a dark blue berlingo,2002 mk1, not my usual type of motor, only had it a couple of weeks am impressed. Cheap parts a plenty.

[@projectfearn]

Enjoy the car pal 👍

[@PavelKlocek]

Brings memories :-) I've had berlingo I for 12 years from new. I loved it for the space and no frills practicality on a small footprint. I've switched to Berlingo III. It's a better and more modern car but also heavier and more complicated.

Bought a 1.6 petrol 5 yrs ago. Not had a spare part in that time not even tyres (25k). Only service parts. Done 75k, its so smooth engine, floaty comfy suspension, almost silent and lovely to drive. My kids love borrowing it. I bought it to transport my elderly parents with sliding doors. I can get 3 people and 3 adult mountain bikes in. I have moved double beds/fridge freezers etc. its tatty inside now but externally is as new. 2007 plate. Bought as a 2nd vehicle workhorse and cannot fault it. Boot lock doesnt work but as u say who wants to nick one😂. I am 63 had 35 cars and i really can say I love it and its my go to to drive as a daily. The petrol is 1.6 16v 115hp and is no slouch yet on distance does 38mpg. Flimsy build and cant tow much but if this expires i will replace it with another. Your review is how i feel about mine, its a peach

[@projectfearn]

Brilliant comment pal. As you may have seen with my other videos I have had some pretty sporty cars but always find myself jumping in the berlingo. The audi hasn't moved for at least 2 weeks now ha

[@volt8684]

@@projectfearn i love mine so much that i fret on what to replace it with. Have test driven the newer but not newest one and dontblike it as much. My kids all got nice cars but borrow it for moving stuff of cycling and thevproof is when u drive the thing. They have a character

[@projectfearn]

Deffo. I toyed with the idea of getting a newer one but they just don't have the same charm. So will keep this until it blows up and then find a low mileage direct replacement ☺

[@user-vt2jo3oi7i]

[@v.b.4357]

Very cheerful review! Just what I needed. I got a 1.6 petrol Multispace from the first series (2001) Ain't got half the cupholders these second series do, but I do have A/C !! Bought it dirt cheap, dark blue, full of little dents and scratches. (I love 'em that way,) And fitted a roof rack to suit the overall barn-like appearance. Got no hubcaps either. (On purpose) Unfortunately, allthough plenty of maintenance has been done well, some of it was clearly neglegted. It did 301.000KM when I got it, and my gearbox started making some really alarming noises some 15.000KM later due to the fact it had no oil in it... (When does anyone check for this when buying a second hand car...? ) It shifted beautifully though... And it wasn't leaking any transmission fluid, thats for sure... So probably the previous owner changed the clutch and then just not filled it up? I don't know... Got a second hand gearbox from a scrapyard, and went to install it together with a neighbour, who's an ex car-mechanic. Well... Should it be my luck that this gearbox has the exact same problem... It makes a very alarming and dry scraping noise, just like the one that I took out... Even though I did fill it up after installing it... Certainly, this noise isn't coming from anywhere else... We've been over it for days now... I was nearly giving up on it... But my budget is tight, and sure as hell this is probably the best car I've ever owned, for all of the reasons you've mentioned. (except the cupholders ;-P ) So thanks for reminding me! I'm just not going to give up and get me another gearbox... Hopefully, this time 'round one that isn't damaged already... I want my Berlingo back on the road...!

[@ptonpc]

My mum had one. She loved it.

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

Got a 1.6 petrol 2003 Multispace Forte, the most basic spec. Great car. We live on a hillfarm in Northumberland, we have a 2012 Shogun 7 seater 3lt turbo diesel 4x4, a 2009 Megane Convertible Coupe and a 2007 Mercedes s500 . The Citroen is tough, reliable, cheap to run and comfortable and it has a 650kilo payload. It can be wiped clean inside and washed out in the worst circumstances. With all weather tyres it copes with the harshest winters although this makes the terrible understeer a lot worse. It's my main car for the 40 mile round trip to town. The French havr always had an ability to produce cheap, tough, affordable, reliable and comfortable cars which are also incredibly practical. The 2VC, the 304, the Citroen Ami and LNA, the Renault 4 and 5, the 205.. there are still thousands of these on the roads of Europe and now Africa. The Berlingo, in Citroen or Puegeot form is another of these classic practical designs. I love it.

[@cravensdmufan4449]

Brilliant review - thanks for posting. I have a 2002 Multispace Forte 1.6 petrol just turned 100k miles; I'm the 2nd owner, had it for 15 years and I've done 65k of those miles. Never had any problem with it. Had timing belt done at 40k and 90k. Mine is dark red like yours and lacquer only just starting to blister in couple of small places bonnet and roof. I understand the red ones are prone to that but hey, mine's 19 years old so I'm certainly not complaining .No other rust whatsoever. My only criticism of my Multispace is the external lighting! The indicator and side lamp bulbs seem to blow quite frequently (headlamps are OK). Big downside is the tiny rear side lights which are very dim indeed. It worries me at night in bad weather. My rear light clusters look like they are dark shaded which makes matters worse. You have the facelifted model and I've noticed that they have much clearer lenses. I wonder if these later lens clusters would fit on mine? I'd certainly buy a pair for peace of mind. Would you happen to know if they would fit? Cheers Vivian

[@projectfearn]

High there yes yours are darker :) the bulbs holders are all the same so I guess you can put the later clusters on no problem :)

[@byronmills5952]

You can straight swap the later outer lenses to your existing units. A friend of mine was concerned about the rear tail light visibility and linked some extra red led strip lights to the sides of the tailgate glass.

[@mr.berlingo8211]

I had a Y reg 1.4 and got rid of it last year on scrappage for a Ford Tourneo Courier. The Courier might have the touchscreen and gadgets of a new vehicle, but isn't half the tardis that the Berlingo was. Like the new Berlingos, the Tourneo Courier has so much trim in the loadspace it really restricts the width, and the rear seats fold so as to intrude severely into the loadspace. Plus there's the nightmare of the DPF on a modern diesel, constantly having to do "maintenance drives" so it can regenerate. I would have kept the Berlingo if I'd have known we were going into a lockdown before I took delivery of the new one, and would have spent some time sorting out the heater matrix! I agree the seating position is superb. Barely any rust when I got rid of it, even where the C pillar had been damaged one side, only rust was on seams in the loadbay and that was just slight surface rust. The 1.4 was underpowered but got 45+mpg which isn't far off what I get in the new Courier (advertised 64mpg, I can't get above 55mpg even on the flat in sixth on the motorway!). We had a 2.0 HDi Partner at work which went like a bomb! I must admit in the 17 years I had the Berlingo I never used any of the cup holders! Only major jobs I ever had done were clutch at 150,000 (wouldn't declutch, and had to tow a boat back from Plymouth to Devon with it!), water damage to BSI due to link at A pillar. I solved my laquer peel with yacht varnish! Old number plate surround was a pain as to change the number plate bulbs it was near-impossible to unclip the lenses and you had to take off the door trim and unbolt the number plate surround. However the headlight bulbs were a 30 second job to change, but mine were the old design, I see yours has the newer headlights.

[@projectfearn]

All valid points pal. I make great use of my cup holders ha

I live in a village in the Czech Republic and my neighbour has an old one and newer one. He's a farmer and swears by them.

Got a '59 plate Multispace II, little bit of a downgrade in features from the KIA Ceed I previously had (crunched the bodywork on that and cost too much for repair). Mother-in-law had a couple through Motorbility, so my family had little bit of experience and thus it was a car that both me and the wife agreed on. Only major issue I've had is the bearing on the alternator going, shredding the fan belt and knocking five teeth off the cam belt. Was lucky with the timing of the breakdown as minutes before I'd been on the motorway and the engine still restarted, so wasn't a write off.

Disappointing that they ditched the van based Berlingo for the bulkier people carrier style (which are still very nice), if you want a newer small-ish car with tons of headroom and storage there's not anything as good out there.

I'd did over 200k trouble free miles in my first Berlingo. One of the best vehicles I've ever owned - just needed routine servicing brakes and tyres. Even at 18 years old it was totally rust free underneath too. After 240k I found a low milage 55plate Peugeot Partner Quicksilver 2.0Hdi which I have to this day. Brilliant family cars and workhorses.

Agree with everything you say pal :)

Hi just come across your channel i have a Peugeot multispace 2006 2ltr hdi. I was just wonder what additive you used and have noticed a difference since using it.

[@projectfearn]

I think it was Forte additive and I definitely noticed a slight difference. I only used it once as it stinks so I took the bottle out of the car. 🤣

I am looking at one at the moment. Does sound like a video on why not to buy one at some points tho.

[@projectfearn]

Im giving you a brutally honest review mate. With these issues it's still been the most cost effective and functional car I have ever owned. 😎

Point taken👍

Nice video! I have a 2003 Multispace 1.6i petrol got for a bargain £600 4 years ago had done 103000, now done 133000 and not had many major problems but in time I had it has needed new coil pack, battery, exhaust, front suspension arms, drop links, wheel bearing. I was prepared to spend as I new I got it for decent price. I have a coolant leak at moment and it’s coming from the double section heater matrix hose which is proving a nightmare to source the part, tried eBay, breakers yards etc no joy, any advice would be appreciated cheers!

[@projectfearn]

Yeah breakers yards might not see if cost effective to spend the time taking it out :( have you got the citroen part number for it? 😎

Hi Danny got a 210 xtr had 4 maf sensors on still showing same error code and engine fault any advice thanks

[@atlasrock7808]

Did you get the van or the multispace? 😎

[@atlasrock7808]

Multispace pal but its in very good condition. New timing belt, water pump . I getting a new clutch in it tho . So its costing me £350 .. so overall going to stand me properly around 700 .

[@projectfearn]

Yeah. I got 100k out of my clutch before I had to switch it out. Going to be doing the clutch myself on the blue one I have along with the timing belt etc 😎

hi what mpg do you get on a rum from the 1.9d i had the 1.8d in a 205 and that was bomb proof xud engine did 58 mpg

[@VICMARIOS]

Unfortunately, these cheap and inexpensive cars are no longer heard of in many areas of Europe. Due to pollution regulations. Although it consumes more, it is better to choose the 1.4 gasoline, which is euro5.

Any problems with the automatic gearboxes in Berlingos? If I buy one it would have to be an automatic one. Thanks

[@projectfearn]

I've never had an automatic to give a verdict. Sorry 😞

Great video, what's the road tax on these approximately mate?Preferably the 1.6 diesel if that what you've got

[@projectfearn]

Off the top of my head mate i think its £160 a year. 😎

[@marks-0-0]

Hi nice review, I'm still getting used to my 06 1.6 Petrol in light blue but so far loving it. Its a peach, 1 owner 34k miles excellent condition. Like you j plan to keep it a long time and start doing the maintenance myself and looking forward to it. Just fitted a towbar (bargain price) and roof rails. Been driving an auto before this so now the clutch takes work but takes me back. One thing is the clutch feels heavy but works fine. Any ideas? New clutch or adjustment?

[@projectfearn]

Apparently the clutch cable can get a bit stiff on them. If it's not that it will probably be the thrust bearing inside the box 👍

[@marks-0-0]

@@projectfearn thanks I'll start having a closer look starting with the cable 🙂
