2009 Citroen C5: what owners report

• On the 2.0 HDi 138 and 140, clutch wear is the top complaint in French reports, often needing a new clutch and flywheel before 100,000 km; CarWiki flags the same dual-mass flywheel issue on manuals.2008–2017
• The 1.6 HDi 110 draws repeated French reports of clutch, turbo, injector, particulate filter and EGR failures, and CarWiki advises avoiding this diesel because of its turbo.2008–2017
• The Hydractive 3+ suspension can fail with age and is then expensive to repair; French owners of 2.0 HDi cars report leaking hoses and hardened spheres.2008–2017
• French owners also log air-conditioning condenser and compressor failures, one condenser at 60,000 km, and electrical faults such as window regulators, sat-nav and radio drop-outs and body control modules.2008–2017
