  • Peugeot 306 - Leaking Injection Pump 24 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    CODE SERIE No 206854 DMF *******************************
  • Honda/Mercedes - Another which car thread. 30 Aug 2017 (Forum)
    The clutch in my 08 civic has packed in and I've been informed it's likely the DMF, including Labour that's around £1000 The car is probably worth a tad over 2k so I've been advised to get rid as it is and buy another car. I've narrowed it down to the following 3 cars
  • Hyundai Tucson CRTD 2007 - Garage should have advised crank sensor replacemen 4 Oct 2016 (Forum)
    Had the clutch and DMF replaced a month ago.  The car went in on the back of a recovery vehicle because after filling up with fuel and then a short journey, it would not start.  Apparently, at the garage,  the mechanic got it started after repeated attempts on the starter
  • Audi A4 1.9 TDI - Rough Idle 14 Jul 2012 (Forum)
    well within spec. They say it may be a DMF issue but that this is unlikely because there are no other symptoms. It does not smoothe out when the clutch is depressed and there are no knocks when pulling away or stopping the engine. They also say it may be the head wiring loom. Either way they say
  • Ford Focus - 52 Ford Focus Tdci intermittent starting 25 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    DMF however the starter motor thankfully fixed this. Also I've noticed when I switch the ignition off the fuel gauge rests ar halfway regardless of how much fuel is in there instead of returning to the stop. Could the battery now be a little suspect? Anyone else experienced anything
  • Newbie, please be gentle with me! 11 Jan 2012 (Forum)
    is taken into account, I'm not sure they're any cheaper to run than a petrol equivalent, people need to look beyond the mpg figure and maybe include the potential dpf,dmf or turbo replacement cost, just to give themselves a few sleepless nights. The recent post by sirionman was very interesting, I
  • PSA Diesels - 1.6 or 2.0 more reliable? 23 Nov 2011 (Forum)
    - repetitive turbo failures caused by EGRs etc. Both have DMF and DPF but is one generally more troublesome than the other? Opinions and personal experiences welcomed.......
  • Musa - Lancia 25 Sep 2011 (Forum)
    inside the cabin. On the plus side it did prove economical. I wonder if these engines are devoid of all the seemingly bad features of dmf, dpf etc and are closer to the old style of diesels and as such are a better long term bet?
  • Vw Golf mk4 150pd - New engine 30 May 2011 (Forum)
    Have enjoyed my 150 for seven years. Now 140k miles. Quick and economical. Serviced ever 10k. But the engine is knackered. Has had all sorts of intermittent judders all of which self -resolved with no faults found on diagnostics. New clutch at 120k and dmf at 130k - was running fine a that time
  • '03 focus tdci estate zetec - Focus '03 TDCI non-start 6 Oct 2010 (Forum)
    to normal. My local garage have no idea and want to start changing random things on spec which i refuse to do. The self test mode shows no stored codes and there were no nasty knocking noises (DMF) prior to this fault occuring, If anyone has any suggestions i would be very grateful, Many thanks
  • volkswagen golf tdi 2.0 140 2005 - Clutch pedal intermittently drops 25 Nov 2020 (Forum)
    Hi, My clutch pedal very intermittently drops to near the floor. I can just about release the clutch to change gear when this happens. I have a Sachs single plate clutch for 7 years after the DMF gave out.. Usually the signs that this is going to happen are a partial drop of the pedal
  • Hyundai ix35 - ix35 Stick or twist? 26 Nov 2018 (Forum)
    just run the ix35 into the ground or am I asking for DPF/DMF trouble here in the next few years? Thanks in advance
  • 2.0 TSI Scirocco 2011 - 4 times, still not fixed warranty running out! 23 Mar 2017 (Forum)
     an injector and want to give the car back tomorrow. I'm not convinced at all that it can be an injector, i think it's a DMF as the noise goes away once put in gear. My warranty is running out very soon and i am wondering where i stand with an unresolved claim when out of warranty. As i told them
  • BerlingoBerlingo Multispace 1.6Hdi Manual - Rattle/Knock when switching off 3 Nov 2012 (Forum)
    . Does anyone have any suggestions of what it could be?  The used car expert site, suggests the engine cover, but I have checked this and all appears ok. Wouldnt have thought that this lightweight cover would cause this in any case. I have a slight concern that it may be DMF related? Could
  • Diesel or petrol... can't seem to decide 26 Jan 2012 (Forum)
    prayers (fuel cost wise) but I'm being scared off Mondeo diesels with stories about the DMF and turbo problems. I have driven a Rover 220 SDi before and never had a problem with the engine components (always electrical). The coolant cap was left off for quite a while and it didn;t miss a beat. Ran
  • Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi ghia 55 (2005) - Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi ghia 55 (2005) 12 Aug 2011 (Forum)
    Now I know of the problems with the DMF and injector failures and recodings. I have emailed the seller and asked if any of these problems have been looked at in the past services. They have not got back to me yet but i'm genuinely concerned they might not have been done in the past, and could end up
  • Peugeot 307 SW (2002 - 2008) - 03 2.0 Knocking noise from engine 22 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    be quite loud as I rev the engine with the clutch in. If I continue to drive normally the knocking stops after 30 seconds or so and I can continue to drive without a any problems. The crank shaft pulley appears to be in good order. Has anyone had a DMF behave like this? Any opinion much appreciated.
  • Mazda 3 - Mazda3 2.2 Diesel 1st Gear pull away judder 27 Apr 2022 (Forum)
    lots of advice available. The car has only covered 47k (full Mazda SH) and is in good nick to be fair. I am experiencing a strange judder when pulling away in 1st gear; which seems to be less severe if I pick the revs up a little than I normally would. Initially it got me thinking DMF
  • 2013 VW Tiguan Fourmotion - 20k miles - Loud knocking after gearbox re-fit 21 Jul 2016 (Forum)
    Bit of a strange one this guys, but appreciate any advice. Had the gearbox taken out of our 4x4 Tiguan last week, dismantled, refurrbed, and put back together – under warranty – due to a hole in the casing, spewing oil all over the road and DMF! Last few days it’s driven perfectly again, until
  • Any - Tough used petrol Estate options? 30 Oct 2015 (Forum)
     which are niggling me. A persistent transmission whine at 50mph is noticeable, quite a few rattles and squeaks, a bit of clutch judder when cold, plus reading of this BXE being a bit weak in the con rod/big end bearing department, turbos packing in, DMFs at a grand a go. All this is making me think
