2 known faults with sources

Engines: 2.4 (Petrol) · 2.2 HDi (Diesel)

Applies if: Weak points of this model from inspections, breakdown statistics and recalls; anything specific to one engine is stated in the sheet.

Clutch, ABS/ESP module and crankshaft seal on the C-Crosser and 4007Known weak points

Engine / equipment: Citroën C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007 (Mitsubishi 2.4 petrol and 2.2 HDi)
Period mentioned: 2007–2012
Symptoms: A failing Teves ABS/ESP module (expensive repair); clutch and dual-mass flywheel failing when towing because 1st and 2nd are tall; a weak battery (warned by a “gong”). On the 2.2 HDi: a crankshaft seal that leaks oil onto the clutch (which slips, also on the DCS gearbox) and the Eolys particulate-filter additive bag exposed next to the rear wishbone.
Possible cause described: They are twins of the Mitsubishi Outlander. Cases collected by Honest John; the maker often paid part of the ABS/ESP and clutch repairs.
Check for the garage: Check the clutch does not slip; read the ABS/ESP fault memory; test the battery.
Cost cited in the source: No verified estimate; ask the garage for a quote.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Engines: 2.2 HDi (Diesel)

2.0/2.2 HDi DPF, EGR, turbo and flywheelDPF / EGR / turbo / flywheel

Engine / equipment: PSA 2.0 HDi (DW10) and 2.2 HDi (DW12), including the 2.0/2.2 JTD in the Fiat Ulysse and Scudo and the Lancia Phedra
Period mentioned: 1998–2015
Symptoms: Particulate filter warning and power loss; rough idle from a dirty EGR; vibration and knocks when starting or in low gears (dual-mass flywheel); smoke or hesitation from injectors at high mileage.
Possible cause described: The engine itself is very robust, but the ancillaries are not: the DPF with Eolys additive clogs in town use, the EGR and its cooler fill with soot, the variable-geometry turbo sticks and the dual-mass flywheel wears. The 136 hp versions have more problems than the 138 to 163 hp ones.
Check for the garage: Read the DPF status and additive level, check the EGR and cooler, check the dual-mass flywheel at start-up and measure injector balance rates.
Cost cited in the source: Forced DPF regeneration: €100–150; new DPF: €800–1,500; rebuilt injector: €200–250A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.

Mileage cited in the database: 120,000–180,000 km. This is not a maintenance interval and does not predict a failure.
