V40 clutch pedal

[LeeAM]

Hi,
I own a 2016 v40 r design t2 and my clutch pedal makes a clicking noise all the time, is this normal, as is really annoying. Anyone else have this, you can feel the click under your foot and makes a very quick click like a toque wrench.

No not normal , It might be the pedal helper spring , If it is a creak it is likely to be the whole pedal unit needed , Your dealer might be helpful here if it needs the Pedal assembly .. ...

Thanks for your assistance, will have to ring the dealership in Warrington to sort it out, i thought this wasn't normal.

I had the creak which then developed into a loud double click which you could feel through the pedal.

The Volvo dealers replaced the clutch pedal and the master cylinder and it solved the problem.

Just like to say thanks to everyone. Just had my clutch pedal replaced under warranty, and was told that this was a issue known to Volvo and is a cracked spot weld on the clutch assembly. All good and took an hour and half to fix.

The clutch pedal and bracket is pure ford and the same as the one in the V50 etc range .. There is a tag which goes through a slot and is twisted to secure two plates rather than be welded , ( cheaper no doubt ) This has been creaking for the last 13 years as the pedal bracket flexes a lot when the pedal is pressed . Not every one by any means , just a few here and there . I guess as the part comes from Ford, volvo were not allowed to fix it .. They now have a dab of weld on the tag. They also have made in sweden on them which is interesting .

You really have to wonder about the quality control , when something like this goes into general production.
