Is this a hard job? mine needs done has a leak would like to know before i goto volvo. I was told yea sure its a pain in the arse job but for a week or 2 you will be ok as im going down london next weekend and need it either done before that or after. Do i risk using it to travel all that way? just keeping an eye on fluids etc? its only a small leak but i am thinking a big price :(
I did one on my 850 and to be honest it was fiddly buy not a complete mare...
Well the mechanic that did mine wasnt sure if the gearbox would have to come out he didnt have time todo it as he was going on goliday :(
took me an hour. yes a bit of a pain, but not a gearbox out job! paul
Great just made me a happy man!
The hardest bit is getting the copper pipe nut off ..other than that is was OK !!
just been on the phone to nationwide and they estimated me £400 as its in the gearbox :/
What knind of Volvo is it ? I am doubting their estimate...the slave cylinder goes thru from the engine side to be held in place, the connecting rod to move the clutch arm goes through the hole and the cylinder is held in place by a circlip on the opposite side of the engine hole it goes thru...hardly 400 quids worth .... slave is about 80 and about and hours work
c70
C70 clutch slave cylinder will be inside the gear box. its a hydraulic release bearing/slave cylinder in one. a big job yes, unfortunately
