Introduction
[edit | edit source]There appears to be no official service manual Citroën Berlingo Electrique (certainly from Haynes in the UK).
This service manual is created and maintained by Berlingo Electrique users.
Servicing
[edit | edit source]- Regular battery watering is required, which either requires a visit to a specialist Citreon dealer or purchase of a specialised piece of test equipment. (e.g. EvLite)
- Motor brush replacement may also be required.
Repairs
[edit | edit source]- An extensive web page is available at http://www.rmsconsult.co.uk/berlingo

| An occasional single jerk and loss of power when sharply accelerating from stand-still. | This maybe due to the regen relay (that switches the motor into regeneration mode) has not disengaged properly when coming to a stop. When the driver accelerates, the control system probably realises the relay is still engaged and immediately shuts down the motor.
