The seats bolt right in but you'll need a rigid bulkhead with the middle headrest and seat belt. 2-seater's bulkhead won't work.

I have seen a wagon with asymmetrical barn doors but that's SWB. No LWB combo. I got the last of ICE (1.5 diesel + 8F35). They dropped both diesel and gasoline engines last Autumn. Now it's electric only. I wouldn't completely rule out any of Berlingo's sister models for US seeing Stellantis doing major overhaul in all global model ranges. The other popular European compact vans (TC, RAM Promaster City) seem to be selling great in the US. Would be just electric tho.

Oh, it's the Berlingo have posted about earlier. Ford uses Peugeot/Citroen diesel engines, has been doing so since Gen1. The auto transmission is also the same.

I think they have the eqipment as advertised. Here's a 6 years old video from their shop. You can see the flushing device being hooked up at 0:50

This shop promotes their inline replacement machine. Don't know how they specifically did it but it took 12 liters of fluid. They only use OEM spec fluid just like the two flushes I have had done in my 6F35 (Dexron VI the first time and Mercon LV the 2nd time).

Ecoboost? Very likely a leakback in the high pressure pump. I have it happen sometimes on LPG which is thinner than gasoline.

I suggest joining this facebook group. There are lots of builds discussed.

I'm having my first 8F35 fluid change in a few weeks (50K miles). Going to do a full flush in a dedicated transmission shop who know what they're doing. Will post what they used.

Different turbo and injection system IIRC, also taller main gear in 110 hp. You can remap to 90 hp but not to 110 hp.

No. Get the correct one, not "multi vehicle compatible something".

There is, but it's probably very expensive. Seen lots of duals on British vans. Not sure how much "performance" it includes:

European diesel models have this 8-speed transmission. Perhaps it's the same in US gasoline models.

I read somewhere that passenger models will go VW first, cargo units will remain Ford for some time due to high demand and excellent tech.

Recovery hook is rated for emergency towing of the TC at 35 mph max, no other ratings.

Windchill does affect everything as fast moving air cools everything more effectively than standing one. My -20°C proof windshield fluid freezes in heated nozzles at -8°C at highway speed. A few minute break melts everything until unterwegs again.

Helsinki, being a coastal city (50 miles North from here), is not that bad. The temps should drop below 30°C in February tho.

Oh, I saw that -4°C and derived from that.

Original plug colors are not universal. Different trim levels have completely different colors.

Sensor(s) frozen?

I don't know. It came with in mine. Works fine, the engine gets warm really quick. It would make even more sense in a diesel machine.

Petrol models have active grille shutter. At least my 1.6 does. Check yours.

What the hell. The fascia kit is 40 quid in Aliexpress ? You'll need the cable loom but these do not cost that much at all.

Seems expensive, given it's a refurbished unit. Can't help you with parking sensors but you can also look at Pioneer and Kenwood. Note that some screens are resistive (pressure sensitive, like old touch screen phones) and others are capacitive (touch sensitive like all the newer phones since iPhone I).
