• Peugeot 406 HDi 110 - Not satisfied with solid flywheel conversion. 10 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  they had DMF. But i just cant find no1 talk about it after the conversion. Other than that car seems just a bit rougher at hard acceleration which is normal afaik. I dont know should i call the guy or not, he can allways say it cause of the solid flywheel... Any thoughts what
• Skoda Octavia - Clutch fitted 7000 miles ago, now really bad 13 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  I had a new clutch/flywheel fitted back in May, to replace the DMF (which was failing rapidly). I purchased the new clutch kit from a respected supplier, and contacted a garage recommended to me from the Skoda forum. They fitted the new clutch kit, and had to buy a new release bearing

  and city centres. For our money we can only find relatively high mileage diesels (50-60,000) and I am very wary of the potential costs of the diesel engine - DMF (£800), Injectors, Turbo (£1500) etc... My head on the other hand is thinking about cash outlay and risk - I'm now thinking
• Suzuki Grand Vitara - Grand Vitara 1.9ddis buying advice - dpf concerns 15 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  for this model. We still love the car and i'm a die hard Ford fan but economically its no longer making sense with its general niggles and big bills looming such as the dmf and clutch. It doesn't really fit our lifestyle either now the kids are growing up - we regularly go to country shows and walk/cycle/camp

  to be a diesel. Initial thoughts were Corolla Verso, but didn't like the back seats or the overall feel.  VW Touran is the current favourite, but have yet to drive.  Would it be worth getting the Touran with a DSG, as I've heard that the DMF can fail (and doesn't on the automatics

  Hi I want a very reliable car . I know that I am going to choose petrol and auto coz I do around 12000 to 15000 miles a year mostly on motor ways and some city driving. Don't want to spend on DMf and all diesel issues. Will keep the keep the car for atleast few years and budget is 7000. I did

• Ford S-MAX - Starting problem, temperature fault in CAT 19 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  a high temperature.   I am no technical car expert and with the car otherwise functioning OK it makes it hard to justify spending the quoted £1300 repair for clutch & DMF
• SAAB 9-3 1.8T Vector Sport vs Toyota Avensis 1.8 - feedback requested on reliability and drive 24 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  familiar with attending this car. Also HJ's CBCB on the Vectra states that even the petrol vectra's have Dual Mass Flywheels. Any idea if petrol Saabs have DMFs? Please could you provide your experiences with this car. If not for the Saab, my other choice would be a Toyota
• Renault Grand Scenic - Replace or wait? 19 May 2022 (Forum)
  cable to be able to help with longevity. Due to issues like this I'm starting to worry about the bigger bills that may be incoming such as clutch and DMF. I've got more of a sensible head on since looking at current pricing of cars. I test drove the new qashqai and enjoyed it, but it's
• vw golf mk4 1.9 gttdi 130 - golf gt tdi 130 flat spot 16 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  steep and I usually park nose up as I don't want to kill the DMF constantly reversing up it. Could oil be seeping back into places it shouldn't.  I've also noticed the sulphury smell a cat usually gives off a few times in the last week so maybe that could be another consideration

  !). The burden is now upon me to maintain the car in the manner to which she has become accustomed. Thankfully that shouldn't be too hard - around here garage rates are a whopping 27 euros an hour and every workshop is teaming with old men that have all grown up with these cars. Plus, with no DPF or DMF
• Kia Ceed Sportswagon - (another) time to change? 21 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  , there was an MoT advisory of lower suspension arms wearing out which probably would cost 300 pounds; and the service is due in two months which will probably cost 180 pounds though I had only done 5,000 miles last year.  The Ceed has none of the usual things that honestjohn doesn’t like - DPFs, DMFs
• 1.2 TSI vs 1.6 CR 105 - Skoda Fabia - advice to a colleague 6 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  she has picked but I was adamant that this engine is a duffer. I asked her "How long are you going to keep it?" About 10 years. I immediately told her about the DPF and DMFs and what they do and how much they cost and how long they last. "But the tax is cheap and it does 67 mpg". I further
• Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - Golf GTI 1.8T - first impressions 25 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  didn't realise these cars had a DMF on them, but as we haven't looked into this in any detail yet, I'm trying not to draw any expensive conclusions. In any case, my mate recommends converting it to a solid flywheel if we do need to go that route, which makes about a £350 job with his time included
• MPG Petrol & Diesel Figures/Car Economics 17 Nov 2021 (Forum)
  the dreaded DPF/DMF/EGR issues, or are they overrated? I should add, not in a ULEZ zone. What I am therefore asking is; where does MPG rank in the overall costs of ownership? Is a diesel as economical as they sound for MPG? If you were in my shoes, would you go petrol or diesel. Thanks .
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 1.8 or 2.0 litre petrol, or 2.0 TDCI? 18 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  catalogue of problems with the diesel (injectors, DMF, DPF, which may not be all that common but could be expensive disasters if they happened while the car was in use for business. OTOH, it seems that the extra torque of the diesel will make it a much nicer drive. Any suggestions on how to approach

  that simply said "engineer notes DMF/clutch" I enquired what this meant and was told it was nothing to worry about, and that it "would need replacing at some point but not yet." I asked if they meant once they were out of the months warranty and was told it wouldn't be covered by the warranty anyway, which
• Citroen Berlingo Multispace - Dad-to-be swapping small van for a LAV - which one 20 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  reliable with expensive consumables - DPF, DMF and the fragile injection system. I also am keen on converting the next vehicle to dual fuel (to petrol & LPG/propane) to save on running costs & improve emissions. However the van based LAVs tend to have weedy petrols and powerful diesels and I
• FIAT Doblo Cargo - Shaking on acceleration in all gears 7 Feb 2014 (Forum)
  . No wobble whatsoever when coasting out of gear at any speed, (or with clutch depressed). No wobble when stationary at any revs, so hopefully not clutch or DMF. Wobble felt through seats, floor, but not really through the steering wheel or gearstick. FEELS like it's coming from the front
