  • Ford Focus Combi 2008 1.6tdci 80kw - Ratle sound 1.6tdci Ford Focus G8DB 1 Mar 2016 (Forum)
    Hi! First of all, pardon my eglish. It.s not my first language.   I own a Ford Focus from 2008, with the dv6 engine that has 80kw. A while back I started hearing some strange noises from the engine. These noises are similar to what you hear on a car with a faulty DMF

  • Any - Seeking reliable modern-ish diesel 3 Apr 2013 (Forum)
    looking for a diesel without DPF, and ideally with a chain cam drive and no DMF.  Something with reasonable grunt to replace the Leon which had 150hp standard and 175 after remapping. Is there any modern-ish diesel out there which doesn't have the DPF/DMF/cambelt hassles AND has proven
  • VW Golf Mk4 2003 150pd - dual mass flywheel 7 Oct 2010 (Forum)
    My much loved mk4 Golf 150 is still doing its job at 130k miles. Have had the car virtually since new and experienced no reparis or replacements beyond routine 10k maintenance. My independent garage tell me that the DMF is beginning to go and may need replacing at some point in the future
  • Vauxhall Combo kombi (2002 - ) - 07 1.3D Clutch 12 Mar 2009 (Forum)
    Our Combi 1.3D is becoming increasingly difficult to get into gear and at times suffers from clutch slip, so i guess its due for a new clutch but what i want to know is, is this van fitted with a DMF or not ? Also, any idea what an idie is likely to charge to do the job, our 06 Astravan had a new
  • Mitsubishi Outlander-Could it be a failed DMF on? 24 May 2020 (Forum)
    been to 2 garages, the first a highly respected local independent diagnosed a faulty DMF, from the way it drives, and the rattle mentioned above, but then couldn't get a straight answer from Mitsubishi if it actually had a DMF, and if it did, would this cause an issue for the SST. They were honest

  • Pug 3008 2011 - 14 - Buying advice, 4 Sep 2018 (Forum)
    the auto boxes and i'm still a little wary of the automated manual boxes and the DMF/clutch, I still prefer the fluid flywheel arrangement. Is there anything I should be looking for on these and are the DMF's a problem on these?

  • Dual Mass Flywheel Problems - RAV 4 25 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    I would appreciate if someone could tell me if DMF`s were introduced specifically to cope with the increased torque outputs of modern diesel engines, or are they also now fitted to petrol units. I ask because I am considering buying a 2005/2006 (old model) 2.0 litre petrol RAV 4, and have been
  • 53/04 Ford mondeo tdci 130 zetec s - Starting Issues 8 Jun 2015 (Forum)
    it starts. The car currently has 130k on the clock. The DMF was done at about 90k. I can't remember if the starter motor  was changed when the dmf was done. Any thoughts on what may be the problem. Thanks.

  • Vauxhall Insignia - Weak Clutch? 14 Feb 2011 (Forum)
    the clutch and DMF failed.  Bill for £1680.  Anyone else with this problem on low mileage Insignias? Why the Insignia was awarded the 2009 "Car of the Year Award"? The more I read about VX faulty DMFs and clutches, the more I despair. Pity the senior management didn`t share
  • Peugeot 107 1.0 Petrol - Clutch knocking noise 10 Mar 2021 (Forum)
    . Clutch function is normal. Noise goes away if the engine is reved to 1500+ rpm.  Also goes away if clutch is released to the point where is just bites. It is loudest when the pedal is fully depressed. Sounds like a failing DMF but this car doesn't have a DMF. Seems much too loud
  • Ford Mondeo - 03 Reg 2.0 TDCi 65k Miles - DMF issue, I pay 50%?? 25 Sep 2010 (Forum)
    a mechanic mate look at it for peace of mind and he straight away that it's most likely a fault with the Dual Mass Flywheel and it sould need to be replaced. I contacted the dealer who said he'd look at it but said it's very unlikely theres anything wrong with the DMF. At the dealership, he took
