I'm about to purchase a 2007 citroen berlingo 1.6 van. It has 80k on the clock and seems to be in really good condition with full service history. I'm a surfer so I plan on kitting it out with a bed in the back and driving it across Europe this summer.
After reading up on them, I have suddenly become rather wary about the 1.6 engines. I keep reading horror stories about these engines having a nasty habit of blowing themselves up. In fact, there is a lot of talk about them being a ticking time bomb. I know its a gamble buying any used vehicle, but what's the common consensus here? Any 1.6 owners out there who can help put my mind at rest?
