Introduction
editThere 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- 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- 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.
