Including DMF is £1300. Question is do i get the DMF done, they had a recent issue where it was not done, then it went 3 months later and the whole lot had to be done again.

They are going to order the DMF and if it is okay retutrn it and save £500.

update for all you future sufferers

Clutch is 75% worn and unaffected by failed CSC
DMF is worn but as expected for age of car and is 'Showing signs of wear in the form of dust in the bell housing.

I was told that by some miracle the fluid just ran around the housing and out of the bottom.

I have decided to also get the DMF changed.

all for £1067...cash.

alot of money

2005 s60 with 164k on the clock, never went on mine, and I did tend to drive it hard....for its first 8 months of ownership I also used it as a van, I figured that wouldn't help. Service history implied that it hadn't been done, but I guess you'll never know 100%

owned it for 60k, alternator, starter motor and steering rack however did get replaced!

Hoping it doesn't go on my second one, but I'm sure it will just as I'm out of work & money!

Bought my 940 last year with 80 odd thou on the clock and the slave cylinder failed within weeks of buying the car. The previous owner had already had a new clutch fitted at well under 80 thou in 2010 though so god knows what his clutch work was like. What I didn't know when I bought the car was that the clutch had a dual mass flywheel and that that wasn't changed in 2010 but from what I've read in 700/900 section the dmf doesn't fail very often on the 900s? (famous last words)


Edited, oops, thought this was general section, just seen it's the S80 etc section, sorry!

Hi,

I'm not knowledgable at all I'm afraid so need help please. My clutch has just gone but I can still get 3rd. There's a whine coming from the engine bay. The pedal isn't stuck down but you have to tap it with your foot to make it come all the way up. Please help with any ideas of what the prob is exactly. Thanks so much in advance.

The problem is it will go very soon, be prepared!

....... and the very best of luck if you get stuck somewhere when the clutch pedal hits the floor and stays there.

My 2,4 petrol 170hp 2005 made 87.000 miles. Flywheel was okay so it was 1350 only at volvo. dealer advised to change the crank oil seal at the same time.
Before the cluch had judder sometimes when cold and other times when warm. now its like a new car and its much easier to control the cluch engagement, cheers.

Plod changed the clutch in mine at 50k but the second one lasted to 189k so it didn't do bad, especially since the first 80 k was under plod abuse. I had the clutch, slave, DMF, RMS, flywheel bolts and driveshaft seals changed for a grand sum of £1100. All LUK parts for the clutch, everything else was genuine Volvo parts.

My DMF is giving me a judder and some rattles when it's cold so I've decided to have the flywheel, clutch and slave replaced this week. I'm getting a good deal so I'm treating it all as a preventative piece of maintenance - as I don't want to be without the car all of a sudden. I'm hoping to feel a big improvement... time will tell! Car is 120,000 mile D5 163bhp.

Previous owner was of dubious skill with a clutch!
