Berlingo & Pollution

[Macaw]

Hi all new here looks a great forum.

 

I'm thinking of buying a Multispace Berlingo 2nd hand diesel with higher mileages not being a problem.

I am not in any hurry to get one was thinking about diesel but then came across talk about the Eolys fluid and FAP filter, so now I'm a bit cocerned as to the expense I'll be letting myself in for as regards service costs.

 

All the cars I have had have been petrol and once out of warrenty did the services myself.

So I wonder whether petrol is the best option as regards costs.

Unless its changed very recently the Lingo doen't have a particulate filter and therefore no Eloys fluid :D .

Hello Macaw!

 

 

Certainly my 55-reg 1.6 HDi hasn't got one, and none of the 2.0HDi versions had, so it's gonna be a very new one if they've bothered fitting them. Emissions from the 1.6HDi are low enough for cheapish road tax without a filter fitted. Service intervals are 12.5K miles and reasonably cheap to service if you DIY. The 1.9D is a tough old engine, but slowish and diiirrrty!

He flogged it unnecessarily.

 

Neither that 2.0HDi, nor the two variants of the 1.6HDi currently available have a FAP, nor use Eolys fluid. The relatively detuned engine (even in 92bhp form) are Euro IV compliant without the need. The 110bhp engine needs them to remain Euro IV.
