Reconditioned Citroën Berlingo Gearbox

Berlingo diesel or petrol, 2000 to 2024: which gearbox fits which generation and engine code?

The answer depends first on the engine type, then on the engine code stamped on the block: two Berlingo diesels of the same capacity may require incompatible gearboxes depending on the year of manufacture. Within this range, the catalogue covers eight distinct engine variants — from the 1.9 HDi of the earliest generations to the 1.5 BlueHDi 100 of the most recent versions — with 5- or 6-speed manual gearboxes and, for the 1.6 HDi only, the automated ETG6.

Diesel: three engine families, three generations of gearboxes

The earliest Berlingo diesels (from 2000 onwards) use the 1.9 HDi (codes WJY, WJZ) and the 2.0 HDi (codes RHY, RHZ), both paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The next generation introduced the 1.6 HDi with five distinct codes — 9HF, 9HP, 9HW, 9HX, 9HZ — where the gearbox varies according to the exact code: most take a 5-speed manual, but certain versions use the ETG6, an automated manual gearbox sold without its actuator. The 1.6 BlueHDi (code BH02) remains on a 5-speed manual, whilst the 1.5 BlueHDi 100 (code YH01) and the 1.5 HDi (codes DV5RC, DV5RCF) move to a 6-speed manual — a critical identification point to avoid ordering the wrong unit.

Petrol: two engines, two different gearboxes

On the petrol side, the 1.6 naturally aspirated (code NFU / TU5JP4) is paired with a 5-speed manual; the 1.2 PureTech (codes HN05, HNS), introduced on the most recent Berlingo models, takes a 6-speed manual. These two petrol engines share no common gearbox: checking the engine code before placing any order is essential, particularly as the 1.2 PureTech may show similar codes on other PSA models without sharing the same gearbox bellhousing.
