Hello
just taken delivery of my new 2013 1.6 hdi xtr.
I have a problem with the clutch, I feels like there is a lump on the release bearing, when the pedal is pressed it vibrates through your foot, dealer tells me all berlingos do this, do you have this vibration?,
or is the dealer filling me with male cow waste.
My new car also pulls to the left as well, quite severely this is also normal according to the dealer
please reply as im going back to the dealer on27th dec and would like to present that x amount of owners don't have these problems,
Thanks

Sounds like a severe case of BS to me.
I would take it back and tell the dealer or better still the proprietor of the dealership that your new car is not fit for purpose.
If they persist in this entirely fictional explanation and refuse to either address the problems or exchange the vehicle for one that actually performs correctly you might want to take it to another dealer for a second opinion. Then give Citroen UK head office a ring and tell them what is occuring at that dealership.
REMEMBER Always remain polite civil and calm.

Mine 3 week old / 2k Mk3 doesn't do it. If they persist with it I'd get them to put it in writing & contact Citroen.
