V40 D2 clutch gone after 12300 miles...
Hi all
Had my 2013 V40 since April 2014. Had 6000 miles on it a time of purchase. October 2016 clutch went when the wife was driving home from work on a Friday evening. (Normally would have taken it to Volvo but everywhere was closed) as there was a Halfords close to where I lived at the time decided to have it recovered there and get it sorted ASAP thinking that they were reputable etc. Had the full hit replaced (Clutch, Dual Mass Flywheel and slave cylinder) a cost of over £1100.00 Anyhow, 13 months and12300 miles later clutch has gone again. Needless to say, it's going back to Halfords, they say they have a 24 month & 24.000-mile guarantee. However, when speaking to a technician on the phone they said that there must be an underlying problem for it to have gone so soon. Anyone any ideas what may cause this, or experience with Halfords guarantees. Regards. Si |

No wonder I like my old 2002 1.9D S40. Clutch and flywheel changed for the first time at 167,000 miles
