The clutch is slipping on my Mitsubishi ASX

We have a 2010 Mitsubishi ASX Diesel (1.8 MiVec engine, rather than the newer non-VVT engine) and at 34,000 miles the clutch started slipping intermittently, especially when the turbo kicks in.

It's covered by Mitsubishi's extended warranty, and today has been diagnosed as failure of the flywheel at £2000 fitted!

I am yet to hear whether this will be covered under warranty, but wondered whether this can be considered reasonable?

If the fault is with the Dual Mass Flywheel then yes, it should be covered.
