Does anyone here drive a Citroen Berlingo with the 8" touch screen?

[nicebutdim]

I found that one. I press settings and a completely different screen comes up on mine. Appreciate the time taken to look and post link though.

French motor manufacturers used to be renowned for inconsistency with parts.

You could have three different clutches or ball joints fitted to the same vehicle spec from the same year of manufacture.

Perhaps the same applies to infotainment system firmware?

Bedford CF vans were also trouble free where infotainment systems are concerned.

I've got (most) of a CF happily rusting away on my drive. 1984 CF 'facelift' model. I found the infotainment system really awkward, mainly because I couldn't find one

Got my 15 year old son to sit in the van with me.

Literally 15 seconds later he got into the time and date settings and put it all correctly.

I also couldn't work out how to get the sat nav working. I thought it was something to do with a subscription payment for the 'connect nav' thing etc etc, complicated! 5 seconds later he has pressed one button (the sat nav button) and then programmes in our route.

I am feeling old!
I am having a beer.

I guess there's a certain logic in that.

Yep, I deliberately wrote that to show you how silly I was. It was a little compass sign that I was too scared to press, thinking the van may blow up.

It's a Berlingo. There's still time

I'm not telling anyone when I buy another new van in 10 years.

Years or months

If it’s a diesel Berlingo then then engine will likely be running (obviously with the engine management light on) on the day it is scrapped.
It will be bodywork, electrics, or a hopelessly inaccessible broken part that will eventually kill it.

Great answer. But I still thing that giving the programming issue to one of my 22year old apprentices is just as good.

What COLOUR is it????

If that helps ? LoL

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.

Is the New Van ‘ULEZ’ & fitted with an ‘AIR FRESHENER’ hanging from the rear view mirror.??
As his could effect your electronics.!


(Thankyou for making my day.!
I’ll stop now).
