Hi to all - new member here.

I've got a V70, 2.5T 5 cylinder. Goes really well (and don't seem to have any noises so far!!). I have a been losing a little bit of brake fluid recently (about max to min in two weeks). I've now worked out, having spent a lot of time looking at brake lines that the pot feeds both brakes and clutch. I am happy that there is no leak on the brakes. I have also had a slight problem with the clutch pedal not returning but hadn't made the connection. I think it must be the seals on the slave cylinder for the clutch and I have found fluid in the area. So the £1,000 question is how do I change the things???

Any help would be appreciated as I do not want to be ripped off by the local dealer if at all avoidable.

Thanks for your help,

Jon

 

What year is it?
I know the early V70's had a recall about the clutch setup.
You might want to check with the dealer and make sure there isn't a recall on your car.

 

My V70 has 145,000 on it, original clutch. I'm only going to be replacing mine and resurfacing the flywheel because its developed some pretty bad chatter. Holds fine, and no slipping, just the years havn't been as good for the flywheel.
