Do you remember when Citroëns had quirky technology that made them a nightmare for most DIY mechanics? In recent years they have become more mainstream and consequently more popular. The Berlingo (and its cousin the Peugeot Partner) is an example - it's a practical and affordable vehicle. With just £4,000 or so to spend, you can get a low mileage version from a second-hand forecourt.
However, your pleasure may drain away when you go to a dealer for service or a repair. As an example of what they can charge, the bill for a major service could be approaching £200. Yet the actual parts purchased from a reputable motor accessory retailer will probably cost less than £60. So if you do the job yourself, there's a saving of around
£140 to be made.
To help you, Haynes has produced a new manual for the Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner. More than 150 million Haynes manuals have been sold around the world and, according to the Daily Mirror: ".Haynes Manuals are legendary."
Haynes manuals contain sections on maintenance - simple weekly check to keep you on the road; servicing - complete, fully illustrated step-by-step guides; fault finding - information helping you to pinpoint specific problems easily; brakes - safety checks and repairs for the home mechanic, plus Haynes Tips - valuable short cuts to make many tasks easier.
Written from hands-on experience gained from the strip-down and rebuild of various versions of the Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner in the Haynes project workshop, this new manual can help you understand, care for and repair your car. Haynes staff do it themselves to help you do-it-yourself and, whatever your mechanical ability, the practical step-by-step explanations, linked to more than 900 photos, will help you get the job done right. Regular servicing and maintenance of your Citroën or Peugeot can maintain its resale value, save you money, and make it safer to drive.
The models covered in the new Haynes manual are the Citroën Berlingo Multispace and van and Peugeot Partner Combi and van, including special and limited editions, from 1996 to 2005 (P to 55 registration), with 1.4-litre and 1.6-litre petrol engines or 1.8-litre, 1.9-litre and 2.0-litre (including turbo) diesel engines.
