Engine: D5: - Weird thump on declutching

ump on disengaging clutch help please.
Hi, went into Volvo ownershipl 3 days ago with an XC60 manual AWD D5 205hp. 59k. Nothing noticed on two test drives but on way home noticed changing gear sometimes a slight thump is felt rather than heard a split second after the torque and drive takes up, if that makes sense. It can be felt better at 50mph in 5th gear by just declutching and re -engaging the clutch at any speed in the higher gears I have found.

I am wondering if this is a DMF or Haldex issue as the clutch is smooth and quiet with no issues noticed. Or is it just a quirk of this driveline set up?

We would be very grateful for any thoughts as obviously need to think quickly. Thanks so much.

What you're experiencing may be subjective so go back to the dealership and drive another with a similar drivetrain.
Also get the salesman or service manager to accompany you and experience what you are feeling.
