See attachment for a photo from another post that I edited. The red arrows show where I inserted the plastic shims. Note that this is not likely to be a permanent fix. I removed all of my old shims this past weekend, and had to insert new, thicker shims in order to get the gap down around 0.2mm.

I did the clutch gap fix on my 00 v70 about 2 years ago. Mine looked just like the one in your pictures, and I was able to do the ghetto fix using bread clips. The trick is to insert the plastic shims under the 3 curved metal pieces on the outside of the clutch plate. Use a screwdriver to push the ...

Thanks for the response. When the fuel relay went bad 2 years ago, the same up arrow light was coming on whenever the car was hesitating. At that time, I thought it was a transmission issue as well, but it turned out to be a fuel system issue. The transmission does have a tendency to slip every once ...

Hey folks,
This site has been a huge help to me in the past and was hoping to see if anyone can help me with my latest issue. My 2000 v70 (140k miles, timing belt and water pump replaced in last year) started stuttering and hesitating during acceleration this afternoon. While this was happening, the ...

I was so close to just replacing the relay myself, hoping that was the problem...oh ...

Each time, the vehicle begins to stutter and hesitate under normal driving conditions. At first, it's minor hesitation, but then the following lights ...

I thought I'd post my experience with the infamous "Clutch Gap" issue...

Several months ago I posted on here about a problem with the a/c on my 2000 v70. I had purchased it during the winter months, so didn't use the a/c much for a while after I bought it. However, due to the fact that I live in ...

I just bought a 2000 v70 with approx 94k miles. It's in great shape, and I can find very little wrong with it. However, I've noticed that if the car is allowed to idle for more than about 5 minutes with the air conditioning running, the air becomes warm when you begin to drive again - as if the ...
