westfalia 1990 manual and how to work sink

[joy1968]

hi - we have an atlantic 1990 westfalia - the manual is in german wondering if anyone knows how to get one in english or if there is a download available (the vanagon 1985 manual helpful but our spec is a bit different). also we can't get the water to come out the tap in the sink could anyone advise us what to do? thanks very much

Hi there,
Remove the cutlery draw (two plastic stoppers on the runners have to be bent to do this, look from underneath the draw)
Reach up under the tap, you will feel a microswitch which is mounted on a pivot with a wired spring, open the tap then carefully pull/push the switch and listen for the quiet clicking of the microswitch operating. The water or pump should flow/buz.
If this is unsuccessfull pull off the two wires going to the microswitch and bridge them together...again the pump should start to work.
Again if no joy: look underneath the rear of the two storage containers (under the swivel out table) for a PVC covered connection block, these have old fashioned bullit connectors in them where the wires and bullits themselves can come loose.
And finally....same rear storage compartment...remove and swivel out the inspection plate to get access to the whale pump for direct testing to a battery.
