I have just bought a new fancy van as the old renault trafic had done 213,000 miles and needed a rest.

The new van is a 1.5L Citroen Berlingo (2022) blue hdi. LWB. It is the driver pro trim.

I am really struggling to understand the vast majority of the controls and it would be good to ask someone a few questions. Does anyone have one a fairly new one which would have the same controls and touchscreen?

Firstly, I cant even change the flashing time on the touchscreen!! I have to sit in the van with the engine running in order to play with the controls, otherwise all the screens go blank after 5 minutes as it's in energy saving mode which I have no ideas how to switch off, or even if you can switch it off.

As you can tell, I am losing the plot. My old van was simple and I should have kept it simple!

The manual is not very good. I can only find it online rather than in a paper copy and it just isn't clear how you get from one step to the next.
Make sure you constantly cheak the ouil and service 6 months

Real bad engine and oil burners.
 
Oddly enough the few guys I know who drive older Berlingos never seem to have any problems.

Also ‘Timing Belt/Strap thing’
I lost 2x Citroen Berlingo’s…

First one, was taking the trade sellers word that it had been changed and done.

The Second, letting an apprentice take the vehicle home at night and use for the weekend..! Wrong Move (without tracker).
 
My first berlingo died of a snapped handbrake cable…. Rolled downhill into a parked lorry trailer.

Sold the second one back to the garage I bought it from after getting the VW T5 tranny I’ve got now.

I thought they were good little vans… but the near-horizontal cup holders were a strange design choice…. The ones just below the air vents. 😉

Are you sure they still actually drive and did you look for the Flintstone holes in the footwell :)
