Hi hope everyone had a good christmas,

 

I have just had to replace my tail gate door handle and micro switch because it has failed, the car is just over four years old and has done less than 30,000 miles, if think this part should not be failing so soon in its life, as anyone had the same problem cheers.

You need to firstly let the site know when you bought the car and how you bought it.

 

Then you will get some more sensible and realistic replies.

 

If you have bought the car new then your redress will be with the dealer and Citroen UK so don't hold out too much hope there. If you have bought it from a used car dealer within the last 6 months then you might have something to go on with regards SOGA. If not then there might be somewhere to go against Citroen UK if you can show that it is a common issue and that they are aware of it.

 

Problem you will have though is if the cost and time pursuing it is actually worth it, but it's your call.

I'd have to say with all the hoohar regarding their DMF, FAP, EGR Valves, DPF, Stupid electronic "Auto/Manual" boxes that you've bought a Citroen that's lasted four years? Well done!

 

Serious note, I replaced mine twice on my Xsara Picasso. I'd guess it's the same part but it's a well used one. Replacing it was easy for me (Took about 15 minutes and the part was about £13.00 at the time.

 

Probably worth just dealing with it, be grateful the engine hasn't turned to Brie and enjoy it for years to come.
