2007 CITROEN C-CROSSER reviews

Citroen C-Crosser 2.2hdi 2007

Hi, I have a C-Crosser and the clutch is slipping on 5th and 6th gears to be told by Citroen that I have to authorise the work as it could be wear and tear; sorry but at 20000 mls I dont think so, as the car is only used at weekend and hols. I am a HGV driver and just got 1.1 MILLION KMS out of a clutch in my truck so I don’t think it is wear and tear and if it was the case that it was a burnt out clutch it would do it in every gear not just 5th and 6th. I read that it is a problem with outlander and 4007 also and that it only does it with the 2.2 hdi that kicks out 280 lbs of tourqe and that the box they paired it with is only used to handle 218 lbs of torque which would sound about right for it to do it in only the high gears as the clutch is not beefy enough for the job. Mitsibushi has put their hand up and is fixing them under warranty but Citreon and Peugeot are still trying to palm it of as wear and tear, why is this? If any one has had the same problem can they call me please on 07709108827, thanks.
