Hi,
a few month ago I bought a 2yr old Volvo v40 shortly after I noticed a squeeling from the clutch when holding/coming off the clutch especially on hill starts/traffic when it's under pressure(Also more frequent over time).
I took it back to Volvo who replaced the entire clutch under warranty but now it's back like 1 week later and Volvo want nothin to do with it saying it's just dust build up which is bs in a new clutch and nothin more they can do.
My question is what else could be causing it as I know it\'s not the clutch because it was replaced?Thanks
Matt
What makes this problem better or worse?
Worse When the clutch is used under preasure or been used often
How long has your 2004 Volvo V40 had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2004 Volvo V40. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
I'm shocked they replaced a clutch under warranty on anything! Interesting. Most dealerships won't do it because it's a wear and tear item, unless there is some kind of service bulletin pointing to a known defect.
Sounds like a throwout bearing issue, but without hearing it and experiencing it and troubleshooting in person, it's hard to say. I would be persistent with your dealership and with Volvo customer service as a next contact.
