    Hello all, Dmf s seem to get a lot of bad press these days, as the owner of two diesel cars which are both under warranty what signs are there to indicate a failing dmf. I was pleased to note that the vauxhall salesman from which the diesel corsa came from went to great lengths to highlight

    I had the classic clutch judder on my 18 month old A4 ~ 15K miles of sensible driving. I had it all replaced under warranty but then started to read the whole sorry story of DMFs. As an aerospace engineer myself, I dislike the DMF concept. My confidence is now shattered with Audi

    Just renewed DMF on this car.  Original part number was GM 55562239 (Sachs) and the replacement P/N is GM 555576165.  Is there a difference?  Was this an upgrade?   Was there a problem with the initial type as there seem to be quite a few earlier

    I am torn between buying a 2004 Honda Accord 2.0 VTEC petrol or a 2004 Accord 2.2 CDTi, my dilemma is that the DMF topic seems to be a fairly hot one at the moment, for those that don't know what a DMF stands for it is a 'Dual Mass Flywheel' it's a part of the drive train in many modern diesels
  • HJ's definition of a DMF 1 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    In a reply to a reader today, HJ describes the two 'masses' of a DMF as being connected by a flexible 'composition', a modern synthetic rubber equivalent with the right hysteresis properties for the job. This would resemble the special damped flywheels that some vehicles used to have, or that were

    Hi to All, has anyone changed their clutch and used a solid flywheel instead of a DMF. If so does it make a lot of difference. Iam a very gentle driver and wont be towing anything. Gentle meaning no fast pull aways or racing. Will probably only be doing a maximum of about 10 000 miles a year
