Hello all, just bought a 2017 D2 (41,000 miles) and I have the same issue. Only happens when I'm driving/engine is running. Happens at least once a day now.

Booked in to Stirling Volvo (Arnold Clark) on Thursday 19th for investigation.

Here are a couple of videos of what was happening for me.

Concentric slave cylinder replacement, with flywheel and clutch cured mine. For about 5 weeks. since then, its been done 3 times, over 8 or 9 visits to the dealer. Mines just hit 41k. If youre within 30 days, reject the car, buy a civic.

Mmmmmm, I've had it more than 30 days, it only start doing this 9nce I'd had it about 40 days.
I actually traded in my Civic to get this, had a 125,000 miles on it so it was time swap.

I presume if it never gets fixed, or keeps breaking I'll just not be able to change gear one day.
It never creaks or makes a noise though unlike what some others have said on here.

Not holding my breath.
But, the warranty is with them and Stirling happens to be the nearest Volvo dealer to me anyway. Just going to see if I can keep it long enough I can trade it in a few years from now.

It seems to me this clutch issue can't be fixed, I've yet to see a single positive outcome anywhere about it.
Initially I thought it was more likely to happen on the older generation or cars, the ones that had the Ford engines in them, as there where more versions of the clutch story online when I looked.

Disappointing as otherwise it's a lovely car to drive and be in.

Just found a new fault this morning, the door mirror indicator light (passenger side) doesn't work, will be adding that to their list for Thursday.

the indicator isnt an issue, and youre right about the earlier ford sourced engines being more of a problem! keep us poster after thurdays appointment, hopefully just a minor fix...

Will do.
Been doing more reading about master and slave cylinders.
When I bought the car I found that the whole length of the drivers side underneath was covered in an like oil substance (was mentioned in the MOT history too) I couldn't find a leak, I had the car up on axle stands, wheels off, lights in at the back of the engine, even put my GoPro in there and couldn't see anything about a leak anywhere.
I had put it down to perhaps a leaking break fluid line or something had been spilled down there in the past, was quite odd. Now I'm beginning to wonder if this has anything to do with my clutch issue but it's on the opposite side to the the gearbox and like I said down the back of the engine is all clean... very odd.

Afternoon All,

Last night I collected my car from Volvo Stirling having had the "clutch" replaced. I say "clutch" as they haven't yet given me a breakdown of the work they carried out, I will be sent that by email soon.
Everything feels as it should and it only took them a day to do the work which is what I expected.
Starter motor is a little more quiet now that it was before too, not sure why that is but if the VEA Engines are anything like a VW then the starter motor must have to be removed when the gearbox is dropped so maybe something in that process has changed the way it sounds???

Clutch pedal still sits annoyingly high up compared to the brake pedal but at least it returns itself to where it should be now and the car pulls away smoothly instead of being jerky and erratic.
Still don't know where all the oil on the underside of the car was from, hoping that will be on the paperwork too as I couldn't find a leak and asked them to look for it.

All work done under warranty so no cost to me and new the parts and labour are covered for 1 year.

Once I get a breakdown of what they replaced I will come back with the update.

sounds like a good result... bet the flywheel is on the list of replaced items

Had a fumble about online trying to work out what may have been changed, this kit which has the clutch, flywheel and control cylinder
