The clutch on my Nov 05 Berlingo started slipping at 25,000 miles and by 32,000 miles was undriveable. A replacement was fitted by Citroen (I paid) and that is now failing at 60,000 miles. Clearly I travel a lot of miles and I do undertake short trips on stone tracks, but the vehicle is never heavily laden and I am careful with the clutch. The clutch on my last car, a Ford Focus Estate 1.8TDi, was still working fine when I sold the car with 180,000 miles on the clock! The Citroen dealerships have not been at all helpful. It is easy for a garage to blame the driver, but there is a problem with this vehicle. Has anybody else suffered early clutch failure on a EuroIV engined Berlingo?

My Berlingo was new 11/05. The first clutch failed at 32,000 miles. The replacement is now failing at 61,000. I think there is a problem with Berlingo clutches in the new Euro 4 engines. The garage says that it must be my driving! I sold my last car, a 1.8TD Focus estate, with 180,000 miles on the clock and the original clutch still working fine. I've found the dealers unhelpful and Citroen UK a waste of time. I can't really help but I do sympathise with you.
