clutch woes

[Jamest5r]

I bet, this wasn't exactly fun on this as I managed to snap one of the nipples of my boost solenoid thingy in the process so that's another £70 chucked into a job that this morning was looking like a quick cheap thing to do I've stormed in the house 4 times today shouting that's it I'm selling it lol

Can't you just super glue it back in place? i did with one of mine lasted years, thinking about it i think its still on the car lol

that's what ive done for now super glued with a bit of sealent around I changed the vac hoses while I was at it and it boosts a lot better so a bonus I think lol

My old mans clutch has gone on his v70 d5, cost me £780 quid for the parts at trade price

All genuine Volvo
That's clutch, pressure plate, dmf, new mounting bolts, new slave cylinder and oil

[polak t5r]

yeah I spoke to Volvo yesterday just over £1100 all in fitted

Don't put a bleed valve on it, there horrible things. You can get a bcs from frf volvo for £50, you need to get a v70 one though 9155936.

Just realised you have an s70, assumed you had an 850.

Not that you'll need it but here's a diagram.

that's awesome cheers I did need it lol

[polak t5r]

do you guys know what the best method for bleeding the clutch is cheers

[Saaamon]

Some people bleed it backwards using an oil can and pump towards the MC, it works but not really the best way in my opinion. Pumping the clutch and locking it off every time didn't work for me but I'm no mechanic.. Air bleeder would probably be useful.
