New clutch being fitted next week. Will change the slave as a matter of course. 2004 2.0t S60, just short of 94,000 miles and slipping under load.

[Thassos]

Anyone know what the differences in the clutch es fitted on the S60/V70s are?

Im guessing the D5 has a DMF, whereas the petrol doesnt, but is the slave cylinder assembly and pressure plate different between the different engines or are they all the same ?

You guessed wrong, most petrol car have them as well these days but with a lower torque figure they get less failures, note the less "not none" comment.

they are all the same AFAIK

I know the S60R has the exact same set-up from reading on the American Volvo forums

Had my clutch changed at 100k as it was slipping, I thought the slave was leaking but as it turned out it, it was fine but it was replaced anyway.
163 D5.

My 2003 S60 D5 has done 96K and the slave started leaking during the winter. This raised it's head as a slight judder when driving off and a slight fluid weep at the bell housing underneath. The judder stops after a few junctions from cold and the clutch is fine under maximum load - at the moment. Topped up the fluid level though with about 100ml of DOT4 last week and keeping a close eye on the level from now on.

I've had a few quotes for the slave + clutch - I know its a monster of a job but i'd be very interested to see what prices people have paid for theirs to be replaced please and if any places in/near North Essex have done the work??

Cheers.

For my 2001 D5 most of the quotes I had were in the region of £500 - £700 all in, the best I had was £450 but I managed to get it for £380 in the end, thats using an LUK clutch and Nordic slave cylinder. A good indy can do it in 4 hours.

Can't recommend anywhere near you as I'm in Lancashire!
