Citroen Berlingo I Multispace - 1.4i with a Sterckeman

LUIGI MARCIONI reviewed a Citroen Berlingo I Multispace - 1.4i (55 Kw/74 bhp). Modelyear: january 1997 - november 2002) and a Sterckeman Starlett 370 CE of 845 kg.

The towing capability for this outfit is:
= 75%* = 82 km/u = 11%

Quattro viaggi negli ultimi 2 mesi sia in montagna (mt.1000) Che al mare (liguria-toscana)
caravan docile su strade strette e in salita ( %6) , in autostrada e statali.
;L' auto raramente ha raggiunto la potenza massima e non ha dato segno comunque di affaticamento
problema principale le salite autostradali ( cisa,torino-savona,genova-imperia) dove nonostante la docilita' della caravan per
mantenere i 70-80 km/ora bisogna spesso scalare in terza
buona tenuta nei sorpassi anche con camion;
il vento influisce abbastanza con la velocita' (causa bassa potenza del motore) mentre l'aerodinamica si mantiene buona grazie all'altezza della motrice e evita troppe oscillazioni della caravan.
Raggiunto in qualche caso la velocita' di km 110 per il resto (in piano) si sta' sui km 90

ciao



Citroen Berlingo II Multispace - 1.6 HDI with a Avondale

paul gilligan reviewed a Citroen Berlingo II Multispace - 1.6 HDI (66 Kw/88 bhp). Modelyear: january 2006 - june 2008) and a Avondale Dart 380-2 of 1000 kg.

The towing capability for this outfit is:
= 78%* = 92 km/u = 16%

This combination has worked well for us.Having downsized from a 4x4 towing a 4 berth, we find we can still sleep up to 4 by using an awning inner tent. The savings in weight and fuel have enabled us to visit the south of France.We attend rallies in winter when mains power is not avaiable,this van has gas powered hot water,fridge and full oven with grill.stability is fine,mpg is around 29 to 34 towing,54 solo.We rarely have to use 4th gear on motorways, for a 1.6 the torque is impressive.


Citroen Berlingo II Multispace - 1.6 HDI with a Bailey

Brian Howe reviewed a Citroen Berlingo II Multispace - 1.6 HDI (66 Kw/88 bhp). Modelyear: january 2006 - june 2008) and a Bailey Ranger 380 of 1058 kg.

The towing capability for this outfit is:
= 82%* = 90 km/u = 15%

I picked up the Bailey 380/2 on Friday morning and drove immediately to France catching the 22:00 Tunnel crossing having never towed a caravan before. I was delighted with the performance being easily capable of 50mph on French rural roads and 60 on the motorways. Long French motorway inclines against a very strong wind had it down to 4th and occasionally 3rd gear returning 32mpg but never feeling really stressed. 3rd was almost too low. The return journey had less wind and only once did I need 4th gear on the inclines. Everything felt very much in control both up and down all hills. On the return journey it averaged 36.8mpg. I was very worried initially about such a light weight car towing but I can honestly say my expectations were greatly surpassed.


Citroen Berlingo II Multispace - 2.0 HDI with a Eriba

Mike Wareing reviewed a Citroen Berlingo II Multispace - 2.0 HDI (66 Kw/88 bhp). Modelyear: november 2002 - january 2005) and a Eriba Touring Triton 430 GT of 950 kg.

The towing capability for this outfit is:
= 77%* = 101 km/u = 15%

My Citroen Berlingo Multispace 2.0 Hdi is proving to be an excellent towcar and load carrier. Power seems ample and it will hold top gear easily above 1800 rpm when towing a full load. I have checked fuel consumption carefully several times since owning the car and this works out as averaging 49 mpg solo and 42 mpg towing on main roads and motorways. Stability with the caravan attached is no problem even in gusty conditions. My only grouse as that there doesn't seem to be a decent workshop manual (such as Haynes) for the car!

Excellent, steady drive. The balance of equipment within the caravan is vital. Follow the instructions. We've travelled all over Scotland and as far as Norfolk and Cornwall with no trouble. Just steady as you go!
