T5 V70 Est, 2000 model, 90K miles
Bought at 70K - clutch seems to be getting worse - graunchy feel thro pedal when pulling away in 1st - especially notice it on hill starts - Volvo has quoted a rediculous sum for a new clutch - and maybe it doesn't even need one (could be something else?)
Can anyone help....
1) Is 90K an expected time for a new clutch on this model ? (70K in 3yrs - motorways etc now 3 yrs of fairly short trips and low mileage)
2) How much should it cost (parts? hours labour)
3) Should I replace other parts (eg slave cyclinder) as advised by volvo whilst the car is in bits - subframe off I understand ?
4) Any other advice
Thanks!!:)
