02 1.6 clutch cylinder - JustMike

Hi fellow credit -crunch- beaters.

My wife's S40 was dragging on the clutch and the hydraulic cylinder was weeping badly. When I took it off - a five minute job I found the rubber on the piston is split but the inside of the cylinder is unmarked . Nobody seems to stock replacement rubbers, the local motor factors dont even list the cylinder and Volvo want £80 for a replacement. I would rather replace the rubber on my own piston than get a used one from the dismantlers.

Any advice as to what to do and where to get the part please ?

Happy Christmas,

Mike
