Hi Ant,
I purchased a W registered Romahome (Citroen Berlingo 1.9 diesel) last October. The van seems fine but whilst we had some extremely cold weather in early December I decided to see if I could drain the fresh water tank. To do this I turned on the sink tap (there is only a cold water supply). The tap ran for a minute or two but I noticed that the carpet on the floor area at the back of the van (between the fridge and the sink) became extremely wet. Water stopped coming out of the tap but the pump was still making a noise. I switched the pump to the off position on the Zig unit and the noise stopped.
I examined the pump but there did not appear to be a leak from it. Water stiil appeared to be seeping out onto the rear floor area so I reversed the vehicles position - our drive is on a slope and originally the front of the vehicle was lower than the rear. Now the front is higher than the rear it appears to be ok when stationery. However, when we take the vehicle for a run, a small amount of water appears in the same area, particularly along the lower edge of the carpet on the step up to the higher part of the internal floor.
If I turn the pump switch to the 'on' position on the Zig unit, the pump makes a noise even though the sink tap is turned off. The vehicle came with a 12 month warranty but when I phoned them they said that until the fault was diagnosed they were unable to tell me if it was covered.
As I am totally ignorant as far as technical matters go, please could you advise me what this fault could be and do I need professional help.
Many thanks.
