Clutch temperature high

[BritzyLad]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a little advice.

Shortly after I bought my Grandland 1.5d, my wife took it to work for the first time. While she was traveling back, she got stuck in stop/start traffic, and the car started giving a warning that the clutch temperature was high (clutch temperature high, limit use of the clutch pedal). Naturally, I accused her of riding the clutch, and that was that.

Today, I drove the car to work and stopped off to grab something before going in. I left the car running for the use of the aircon (in neutral with the handbrake on). Once I finished, I continued to drive in, and the same warning reared its head again. This time, I know I wasn't riding the clutch...

The car has done 25,000 miles, and the clutch doesn't feel as if it's slipping, and there is definitely no smell of burning or anything.

Hey BritzyLad! Did you manage to solve this issue and find the root cause?
I am having the very same warning but I receive mine only when shifting into 6th gear while driving above 100km/h
