• Ford Focus 1.8tdci - Juddering at low revs light acceleration 18 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  but seems to be more noticable uphill. I am not getting any feedback through clutch so hoping it wont be the DMF and as there doesnt seem to be any lag or loss of power when accelerating I am hoping its not fuel injector or EGR. I just thought it wanted to get going but am now starting to think its
• VW GOLF GT TDI MK4 - VW GOLF GT TDI CLUTCH SLIP 20 May 2011 (Forum)
  The clutch in my Golf slips in all gears but 1st and 2nd.  It has had a new DMF and clutch. The clutch was difficult to bleed out. (apparently)   The pedal sometimes drops during the night and when it has the clutch does not slip.  After a short time it begins to slip

• Diesel Cars - HJ's Car Reviews 14 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  I enjoy reading HJ's reviews of cars which are comprehensive. I've been thinking of buying a diesel although my annual mileage does not justify it but i enjoy the power delivery. However I am put off by the problems logged with DPF, DMF, blown turbos, injector issues etc. and going
• Any - Holding the car on the clutch on gradients 3 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  this got me thinking about DMFs and failure rates.  While I'm sure that these complex components DO fail prematurely, abusing them by holding cars on the clutch on a hill isn't going to help at all. Isn't this what the handbrake is for?
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - Risks of buying high mileage TDCI 21 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  about injectors, fuel pumps and DMFs are starting to put me off. My question is whether the abundance of these stories is down to a genuine reliability problem with the car or simply because of the large numbers of them on the road. In other words, at that sort of price, would it be better to look
• Rover 75 (1999 - 2005) - 2002 2.0 Known problems 15 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  I am thinking about buying a 52 reg Rover 75, 2.0 cdi estate to replace the money pit otherwise known as a ford mondeo tdci. Are there any common problems that you are aware of on this motor. I am sure you all know about the DMF on the mondeo that cost a small fortune to rectify, and i dont want
• Ford Focus III (2008 - ) - Petrol vs. diesel 11 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  ) that Drivethedeal's prices would allow us to recoup the additional premium for a diesel car over a petrol one in 3 years. These calcs based on a Zetec. So ... which is it to be? Do we take the "guaranteed" savings a diesel will bring after three years, and gamble on the engine and DMF lasting well, or do we go
• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - Focus 1.6,1.8,2.0 MPG 9 May 2017 (Forum)
  I'm looking to buy a 2006-ish Focus petrol (had enough of diesel DMFs,EGRs,DPFs etc!) and assumed the 1.6 would be the most economical. However a few forum searchs show many people are disappointed with their 1.6 economy - never reaching the 40mpg figure. I know these figures are a guideline

  / dmf related or could some other hydraulic or electrical problem be the cause? If it is clutch related why is it intermittent/periodic?
• Ford Mondeo 1.6 petrol vs Honda Civic 1.8 25 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  Hi Guys, I'm thinking of getting rid of my golf tdi for something petrol with less to go wrong. I.e no turbo, dmf and dpf. I've narrowed down my search to the 2 cars in the subject. Does anyone have any experience of these cars? Especially the mondeo, how do you find it with it having a 1.6
• Skoda Octavia Estate - Chatting with a taxi driver 19 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  replaced the DMF twice (he was getting around 80K per flywheel) but apart from that, had only replaced service items and consumables. He's now running a Seat Exeo estate, and has done around 30K in it.   Interestingly, he never had a DPF problem in the Skoda, and has had no DPF troubles
• Taxi running cost! 7 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  then told me that it's going in thursday to have a new dmf, clutch and cambelt replaced, the cost for this lot is £800. He seemed quite happy with the running costs! Although this car only cost him £2600, with all the repairs, hopefully it's trouble free for a while, but I couldn't help
• Ford Focus Estate - Ford Focus Mk1 - Petrol or Diesel? 27 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  (the DMF problem). My choice for the Mk1's (and Mk 1.5's) seem to either of 2 diesel engines, the 1.8TDDi and the 1.8 TDCi, or the 1.6 petrol engine. I would appreciate any comments or advise on which is the better to buy. I do about 10,000 miles/year, including long runs from East
• Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDI 2006 - Sensation through clutch pedal 23 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  noticed it on any other cars. Its literally only at one point of the pedal stroke - roughly just before the biting point. Is it just the vibration from the diesel engine transmitting through the pedal? I'm aware of the all the DMF scare stories but at idle there is no rattle (apart from the diesel
• ford focus 2004 tdci 115hp - ford focus tdci poor starting 22 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  - it drives as normal with good mpg - it's had injectors checked/cleaned then re programed, heater plugs checked, new starter, new sensors, tappets set, fuel tank cleaned (seems to start slightly better with more fuel in tank), dmf seems quiet. I want my car back so any help greatly appreciated
• Ford Mondeo TDCI 2.0 130 2005 - Knocking sound 28 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  this could be. Praying it's not injectors or DMF as I simply can't afford it. Thanks
• Ford S-Max 2.0tdci - S-Max diesel poor starting a flywheel problem? 16 May 2011 (Forum)
  (I thought it was just the glow plugs not warming up properly) and wants up to £1500 to change it all. Now, this car is a 56-plate with 73000 miles on it, so the flywheel might be the problem, but I certainly haven't noticed any of the other common symptoms of a failing DMF (rough

• What Car 3K Max? 9 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  ZT CDti Auto (no DMF & clutch issues to worry about) , but finding one with resonable milage and good condition seems very hard if not impossible), so i turned to a MG ZT 190 with LPG, but insurance is near enough nearly a 1K! (i'm 27, 4 years NCB 3 points TS10) for that car and they tend
