Hello everyone,
If I start my Volvo L reg Turbo and drive it, the clutch is fine, even under heavy acceleration.
How ever, if I leave it idling a little to warm the engine up on a cold morning or end up sitting at traffic lights for a while the clutch will then slip like crazy.
Any suggestions?
I have been informed the clutch itself may be fine as if it was warn or damaged etc. it would slip all the time. Some one said it could be a "crank shaft oil seal" leaking onto the clutch?
Any help is apprechitated.
also if it is the clutch where can I get one from as EVERYWHERE I have looked has been out of stock. I ordered one ages ago from TMS and it was on order for a month claimining "It was coming" so I just got my money back in the end.
thanks.

Re: Clutch Issue?
Could very well be the oilseal. But either way you have to replace the clutch. A new oilseal and new clutch is a gearbox out job, a new oilseal will cost you less then a tenner. If you can't scource a clutch new you can have your old clutch reconditioned as option.
Partsforvolvosonline sells clutch kits for the turbo, dunno if they have them in stock though!

A proper volvo gearbox oil seal will set you back about £26 including VAT at 17.5%
