 Hi, have an issue with the clutch pedal on my C4GDP 2.0HDI 2015. Crunchy selecting gear then when managed to get in gear I couldn't then get it out of gear and had to stall the engine. Noticed pedal was not fully returned and had to pull up with my foot. This keeps happening, the pedal was making a creaking noise I noticed all of a sudden a few days ago and just assumed it was a dry linkage of some sort. A quick Web search shows there appears to be a known issue with the clutch master cylinder and possibly a technical bulletin or recall of some sort. I've rang a few dealers and even Citroen UK, all have no idea what I'm on about and just want me to booking and diagnose. 1st issue here is the car is undriveable. Is this a thing and is there some kind of Technical bulletin that they will only divulge after spending on some diag work? Appreciate any help or advice.

 Clutch cylinder for sure, depending on the state of other parts, there could be additional work. Like clutch bearing, plate, clutch itself

It definitely sounds like a hydraulic failure, most likely the clutch master cylinder given the creaking you mentioned. These symptoms are quite common on the 2015 B78 models. Dealers are usually reluctant to mention technical bulletins until they've done their own diagnostic, but you're right to be suspicious. Check the fluid levels in the reservoir; if it's dropping, you almost certainly have a leak in the master or slave cylinder circuit.

 There was a recall for the clutch pedal not returning, but it was several years ago. I sold my car in 2021, and I had it done well before that. However, the crunching and reluctance to come out of gear seem toindicate that the problem is potentially more than the recall issue. May be worth asking a dealer though.
