brought an 05 plate berlingo today and noticed the engine man light is on but the car drives fine, no turbo lag etc. any known problems that anyone can thing of or is it safe to avoid?

 

 

so far so good with the car - the engine is great - pulls nicely.

Bought a 54 plate berlingo Multispace Berlingo 2.0HDI just over a month ago from a Citroen dealer and similar problem.

 

Engine management light is on more often than off.

 

Been back to the dealers once for diagnostic hook up and although fault showing on dash, no fault found on computer readout.

 

Was told by service receptionist that No Fault Found, a so called "Phantom Fault", let it develop!!!

 

Hopefully my only solace is that the vehicle is supposedly covered by a 12 months manufacturer's used vehicle warranty so if it does go bang it will be repaired f.o.c.

 

Does not instill a lot of confidence when buying a vehicle though, does it????

Further to writing all this stuff, has anyone any ideas or can they reccommend a suitable code reader for Berlingo Multispace 2.0 HDI on a '54 plate.

 

Don't want to pay out megabucks but would like to know what is going on enginewise....
