Well, kudos to you for being patient with it, I would go back after 5 miles :P
fingers crossed its sorted out this time. Cant imagine any issues being from wrong one fitted, however I am not sure what actually was causing it (like what part was not correct making it slip).

I took it back today for its next check - they said it was fine , yet I have noticed that at 60mph, the Revs were at 2500 in 5th gear a week ago. After some motorway driving last night, I found it at 60mph at 3000 revs in 5th gear - both on stable motorway surfaces. Thats a pretty rapid change in a few weeks and around 500 miles driving. The key thing I found was going to another garage in the same chain to have the test done there the first time. For today's test, I went back to the garage who identified fitted the 2nd clutch. I think I will try that again for the next test. I do not want to invalidate the warranty by putting the stress on a new clutch by doing a clutch test myself so I am stuck with being told there is nothing wrong (as I was today). Does anyone think its worth now getting Volvo to test the clutch and verify its condition? It seems the same symptoms are coming back.. |

Unfortunately, unless it's slipping there is not a lot else Volvo will really be able to do to diagnose it without stripping it apart. They'll likely just quote you for replacement I expect.

Yup, that's exactly what they did when I first started looking for a replacement. But its establishing if its slipping that I need a professional opinion on..

If you're in desperate need of the car I'd look for a good Volvo specialist in your area and get them to fit a genuine clutch. I fear you'll just be running around in circles if you use elsewhere as I've yet to find a garage that'll use Volvo parts rather than cheaper after market. |

The current clutch cost you £1000? Volvo themselves only charge £200 odd more to do it themselves......At a main dealer....
