• Volkswagen Sharan - VW Sharan DSG oil/flywheel 27 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  even with dealer history but yet, I've seen on a couple of sites reports that suggest it is wet.  Assuming it's the same engine as in other cars? Also given its an auto will it have a DMF still or does it use a torque converter.   Anyone know either way? Thanks  
• Volkswagen Passat B6 - Slight grinding in 5th 26 May 2017 (Forum)
  I've just bought an 06 passat 6 speed 2.0 tdi (140) and have receipts from previous owner of new gearbox and clutch/DMF 3 months ago. Problem is since I've had the car, there is slight grinding when changing to fifth gear. All other gears are fine. It drives lovely in every gear even fifth after
• Honda Accord - Clutch vibration and heavy engine noise 2 May 2016 (Forum)
  it be the DMF?  On another issue, the engine is making a whinning humming noise on acceleration, its not the wheel bearing as if I take out of gear that noise goes. Its not loud but slightly annoying. Any ideas? Car is Honda Accord 2005 I-CTDI executive. Thank you
• SEAT Toledo - Ringing in DSG gearbox/transmission? 21 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  driving. Doesn't happen on down change. Seemingly DMF and clutches okay. Mainly happens in colder weather. Happened 3 years ago and it went away. Any ideas what it is? BTW, the car drives really well and the changes are fast and smooth...

• Renault Modus (2004 - ) - 04 1.5dci Clutch Slip? 23 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  (s):- . Is this clutch slip? . Could it be a poorly adjusted clutch (e.g. it's not been released fully when the foot is off the pedal)? . Does this car have a DMF and is this an early sign of it's impending failure? Car is only 3.5 years old and with just under 30k on the clock.
• Volkswagen Golf IV - Possible gearbox damage due to garage? 30 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  that there was a slight juddering when pulling off in first gear and reverse. Its also generally just not as smooth driving as it was before I had the work done. So I took it back for them to look at thinking that it would be down to the dmf again however they have said that they think it's the gearbox and it's likely I
• Mondeo mk3 estate or Landcruiser Colorado? 13 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  I've been running a '03 mk3 Mondeo TDCI (130) Estate in Ghia X spec for the last 20 months - I brought it at 107k, the car has now done almost 128k and just before Christmas the DMF/Clutch went and the DMF, clutch and slave cylinder were all replaced. The 3rd gear syncro also seems worn
• Volkswagen Golf VI - MK6 Golf 1.6 TDi - Possible clutch issue 17 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  the clutch was released? (the car wasnt up to temp at this point either) The car is very quiet whilst ticking over, doesnt sound like my old car which had a faulty DMF. Could it be a faulty release bearing? Cheers

  is an 06 plate VW Jetta S 1.9d with 105k on the clock.  It had a new clutch and DMF not too long ago Third is an 05 plate Honda civic SE 1.7 cdti with around 90k on the clock I intend to run either car into the ground - so resale doesnt matter much to me.  The only car above
• CRV etc - CRV or not CRV 9 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  other probs? Am I right in thinking diesel is probly not the way forward for low mileages (i've got 55k in 8years on the RAV4) because of DMF probs (which I've had with RAV4 :<(() and DPF on newer diesels? So anything else to consider a contender - IX35? Sonata? others? Any (helpful) comments, links

  i've driven a few of these mondeos, and really like the idea of something with that kind of pull at those kind of running costs. however, i've also read a multitude of horror stories online regarding dmf problems and injectors packing in. what kind of mileage are we talking about before

• Jaguar S-Type (1999 - 2007) - 2.7 twin turbo diesel 13 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  it, but any warnings as to longevity/ DMF issues/ things going bang? Are they relatively much more expensive to buy than the equivalent petrol (the V6 3.0)? Part of me recoils in horror at the thought of a diesel jag, but it does seem to make good sense. Cheers then, Alex.
• Corsa 1.3 cdti - Dual mass flywheel 16 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  Hi everyone I have a corsa and I think the dmf is knackered . Gear changes are a bit notchy and it won't go into reverse without crunching  Also if you have it in first gear with the clutch pedal pressed and you rev it  it will slightly start to pull forward .. Like the clutch isn't
• Kia Carens - 'safe' motoring 5 Apr 2016 (Forum)
  chopping it in for something a little simpler, and definitely not diesel so there's no DMF or DPF etc. I no longer do enough miles to justify diesel, but I do prefer how they drive.   I'm attracted to Kia, mainly for value and the warranty. In particular, the Carens 1.6GDi. A 2014 model with c
• £4.5k, which family car to keep long term? 2 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  like a nice Mondeo/Insignia for comfort, space any toys. Trouble is, I only average 10-12k max mileage, mostly local driving, 18 mile round trips. I really want a diesel, as I love the power delivery and fuel economy, but I am scared of buying because of the dreaded four (DMF, DPF, Injectors and Turbos
