V50 clutch

dave62 · 2015-12-30 12:06:33

Id appreciate your feedback on this problem. The clutch on my v50 became unresponsive while driving on the M50. Just died with no warning. The peddle is now floppy. This is a 2012 with low mileage and reasonable driving , not heavy on the clutch. Any ideas what the problem is and expected cost to fix.

Sounds lke a hydraulic fluid leak in the clutch lines, either a bad union, split hose or leaking clutch slave cylinder. If it is the Ford engine fitted, could be the concentric slave cylinder, which is located in the bell housing f the gearbox. Check under there for signs of leaing brake fluid.

If it's a new clutch, it will be an expensive fix because it's a bitch of a job. Sounds more like a leak though to be honest. Release bearing possibly?

Thanks four your replys.

We required a new clutch which was all covered under warranty which was a big relief.
