So I get the slave cylinder, clutch plate, disc, bearing and rear main seal replaced today to the tune of $2100. Other than the clutch releasing very low in the throw, likely due to some residual air in the lines, thinks seem ok. But now I really hear the engine noises like never before and now hear the turbo sucking air and releasing it through the blow off that I could never hear before. Even at highway speeds and with the radio on! What gives? <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/confused.gif" BORDER="0">

Its probably just less between you and the engine now. As in, they removed some padding, or made a hole larger, so you have more sound entering the cabin.<p>When I first got my R a member told me to loosen a bolt under the steering wheel area, and this would make my turbo sound louder inside. I didn't do it, but same idea.

Re: (Chilled Man)

Maybe a dumb question but why would that grommet have been removed for the slave cylinder and clutch replacement? Is that easy to replace without removing a lot of hardware?

 

[Chilled Man]

more then likey wasnt removed it moved due to moving the slave cylinder pipe . <p>I am not sure volvo also might replace the plunger also that is attached to a grommet that goes throught that hole . <p>I am not 100% sure what they do .
