Many thanks for the reply Buzby.


I had come across the issue with Ford on Google and thought it may have been related. I will see what the garage say tomorrow.


Other than the issue above it has been a pretty good ownership experience so far!

Sorry to drag up an old thread, however, having just clicked over 77K miles the clutch pedal in my car has started to show signs of the same problem.

The car was just serviced last Friday and I asked them to look at this but they reported back that everything looked fine.

I have therefore had to book it in again to get it looked at.

With the car now being out of warranty it will probably result in a large bill.


As this fault happening twice within a relatively short time scale should I be asking and what are the chances of Volvo covering the repair costs?

Hi Buzby,


Not sure which part was replaced last time round and as it was under warranty I did not receive a job sheet.


Car is booked in for the 20/06 (first available date they had with a courtesy car) so I will be asking them to look back and check.

Quick update on my car.


Dropped it off at the dealers on Tuesday morning and got a call in the afternoon to ask my permission to remove the gearbox for further investigation *Alarm bells!!!


Call today to advise that they are having to replace the slave cylinder and they also recommended replacing the clutch plate. The garage contacted Volvo UK to see if they would cover a proportion with warranty but due to the car being over 60k miles (78k miles) they have classed it as wear and tear.


So over all it is costing £969.18 for the repair! (Thank goodness it is a company car).


It is ridiculous to thing that a car that was registered in April 2015 is having to have such major work done!


The only upside is that the garage have been accommodating and have supplied a courtesy car (new V40 D2 R-Design).
