All 2 Known Issues
On the 2008-2026 Citroën Berlingo, the Berlingo diesel DPF blocks prematurely when used for short urban journeys and commercial delivery work. The van duty cycle of frequent stops and starts prevents the DPF from reaching regeneration temperature.
Common Symptoms
- DPF warning light
- Loss of power
- Limp mode
- Excessive soot from exhaust
How to Fix
Schedule regular forced regenerations as part of fleet maintenance. Ensure Eolys additive is maintained. Plan daily route to include sustained higher-speed running.
On the 2008-2026 Citroën Berlingo, the Berlingo develops clutch judder when pulling away, especially when loaded or on inclines. The dual-mass flywheel and clutch disc wear unevenly due to the stop-start nature of commercial use.
Common Symptoms
- Judder pulling away
- Vibration through pedal
- Shudder on inclines
- Clutch slip when loaded
How to Fix
Replace the clutch kit including the dual-mass flywheel. Inspect the engine and gearbox mounts as worn mounts can amplify judder. Use genuine parts for correct friction material.
