The clutch is slipping on my Mitsubishi ASX
We have a 2010 Mitsubishi ASX Diesel (1.8 MiVec engine, rather than the newer non-VVT engine) and at 34,000 miles the clutch started slipping intermittently, especially when the turbo kicks in.
It's covered by Mitsubishi's extended warranty, and today has been diagnosed as failure of the flywheel at £2000 fitted!
I am yet to hear whether this will be covered under warranty, but wondered whether this can be considered reasonable?

If the fault is with the Dual Mass Flywheel then yes, it should be covered.

I've been getting a kind of honking sound when I change down gears (usually from 3rd to 2nd). My local garage says it sounds like a dual mass flywheel problem, which costs over £1,000 to replace.

I have a 2010 Nissan Qashqai+2. Last August after a problem I took it to my local garage and they said that there was a problem with the flywheel base plate, which was very unusual and it would need replacing...
I went from a dual mass to solid flywheel but I still have a noise when the car is idle.
Dip the clutch and it stops - the garage said it's cos I went to solid.
