2003 2.0HDi DMF problem? - jenrich

My 53 plate 2.0 HDi 110 (98000 miles) has developed the squeak at engine stop, and when crawling along in first or second gear. The noise seems to be coming from the gearbox end, and from reading other forums I think it's the DMF.

Is this an urgent problem or is it safe to drive until the symptoms get worse?

Many thanks,

Richard

It's urgent - if only because catastrophic DMF failure on these rips the gearbox off the engine and causes a lot of collateral damage.

Thanks for that Screwloose. I was afraid you'd say that!

Do you reckon my diagnosis is right, or should I take it along to Mr Peugeot to confirm it?

Squeaks are the common sign it's on it's way; but it's always worth shopping around for quotes - and you can get a range of second opinions at the same time..

Just an update.

Got it fixed last week at Mr Clutch for £758. Ouch!!!

Still Mr Peugeot wanted £1150 for the same job.
