0 -6 Introduetion to the Citroen Berlingo & Peugeot Partner The front suspens ion is of tne fully- independent Mac Pherson strut ty pe, incorporati ng shock absorbers, ecn springs and an arrn-ron bar. The rear suspension is derived from the Peugeot 405 range and is ot the semi-indepeodent type with t orsion bars and trailing anns. Rack-and -pinion steering gear is used with power assistance available on most models. A w ide range et standard and optional equipment is available wittlin the range to suit most tastes, including power steering, central Iocking, angine immobiliser , e1ectric windows, erectne sunroof and airbags. An anti-lock braking system and air cOndi ti oning system are erec available as options , Of standard equipment on certein models. Provi ded that regular servicing is ce rned out in ac cor dance with Ihe manu tecturer's reco mme no auc os. the vehicle should prove renebie and very economical. The eng ine compartment is well- designed . and most ot the items r equi ring frequenl attenti on are easily accessible. Designed as a joint venture belween Citroen and Peugeot, the Ber1ingo and Partner were introduced into tne UK in 1996 as pu rpose- buitt Yans ava ilab le in 6QOkg Ol" 800kg pay\oads. To increase the appeal of the range, tne Berlingo Mu ttispace MP V was introduced in mid-l99S. The Muttispace is mechanically identicaI to the Van version but with the addition af rear 5OOls, side windows and addrtional interior trim. InitialIy. an models were available only in three-door format. but in rnid ·l999 , the option ot a s1iding side door on 1M right-haod side was eoceo . The Peugeot MPVversion, known as træ Partner Combi, jcmed tne mocIeI tine-up for tne 2001 model year, which also saw the introduet ion , on all models, of a eecend sliding side door for tha lett-hand side. In the autumn ol 2002 , the entire range underwent a major teceutt. with signilicant styling changes to tha front bumpers, headlights. bonnet and front wings. together with numerOU5 mecnarncat and electricat revisions. Dl.wing the production ru'I a variety of petrOl and diesels eng ines ha ve been oHered according to model and year of production . These include 1.4 jtre (136Occ), and 1.6 1itre (1587cc) petrol engines, and t.g frtre (1769cc), 1.9 litre (1868cc &1905cc) and 2.0 litre (1997cc) diesel and turbo-diesel engines. A 1.8 htre (1761cc) petrol engine was also available for a limited period en earty models, but is not coverec in ttlis manual. The eng ines are all ot four-cylinder single- or double - over1lead cemshatt design and are versions ot the well-proven units which have appeared in man y Citr~n and Peugeot veneles over the yeers. All engines are ti tt ed with a manual transmi ssion as standard and are mo unted transversely at the front of vetncte, wit h the transmission mounted en the left-hand end. Your Owner 's Manual The Sim af this manual is to help you get the bast value from your vehicle. lt can do so in se veral ways. It can help you decloe what work must be done (even should you choose to get it done by a garage), provide information on rout ine maintenance and servicing. and give a logical cou rse of action and d iagnosis when random fautts occu r. However, it is hoped thai you will use the manual by t ackl ing the work you rsetf. On s impier tabs it may even be qu jcker than booking the vehicle into a garage and going there twice , to jeave and conect il. Pertlaps most important, a Iot of money can be savec by avoidinglhe costs a garage must charge to cover its labcur and cveteece. The manual has drawings and descriptions to show Ihe tunetion of Ihe varrous compon ents so t hai Iheir lay out ean be unoerstood. 'raske are described and phot ogr aphed in a clear step- by-step sequeece. References to the 'Ieft-hand' and 'righ t- hand ' sides of th e vemcie are always in Ihe sense ol when viewed by a person sat in the driver's seat, facing forwards. Ackn owledg ements Thanks are due to Draper Teol s Umi l ed, who provided some of the workshop tools , and to all those people at Spark fordw ho helpecl in the production of this Manual. We take g reat pride in theacc uracy of informatio n g iven in t his manual, but vehlcle m anufacturers make alterations and design changes during the production ru n of a pa rticular veh icle of whtch they do not in form us.
