They for the electric fuel heater (I think)

What he said, but they don't all have a fuel heater, despite the wires, so check before you buy an expensive fuel filter.

Down the page it explains the diesel filter nicely

Yes. They have a water sensor as well as heater. . It puts on the dash light, the one above the low coolant light.on the Berlingos.
Not sure on Citroens but water sensor is usually on bottom of filter, so don't take this as gospel.
