  had to hire a car for my holiday. The garage phoned me the next day to state that my clutch was 3 parts worn and my dual mass fly wheel was broke. I told them to replace clutch and advise warranty company about flywheel and go ahead and replace pending approval. The box came back on Fri 27th

  clutch and dual mass flywheel fitted as you should not do one without the other. The cost was £704.00 and this was fitted in October 2015. The car has now developed a terrible juddering when you pull away and when reversing is much worse. I have looked into this on-line and everyone seems

• Daily Telegraph advice - Honest John 10 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  Wrong thinking. Buying a three-year-old, 80,000-mile diesel could be a very expensive mistake. It will very shortly need a need a diesel particulate filter (£1,000-£1,500), then a dual mass flywheel and clutch (£1,000-£1,500), possibly a turbo (another £1,500) and probably
• Skoda Octavia I (1998 - 2004) - 03 1.9 Tdi... solid? 28 May 2009 (Forum)
  100,000 miles. Is the 1.9 Tdi unit decently solid or not? I doubt if the car has a DPF, but does it have one of these absurdly fragile dual mass flywheels, and is there any risk of the fuel pump going? It will spend quite a lot of time not being used, and most of the use it gets will be pootling. I've
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 05 2.0 TDCI Flywheel/clutch replaced, now gearbox 26 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Hello I got bit by DMF failure 2 months ago (failed starter caused by getting clogged up with swarf from disintegrating dual-mass flywheel/clutch); I ran the car on the replacement starter till it started sticking again... and then the clutch went. By which time I had enough money together

  both for work and visiting relatives. I am looking at a number of older SUV, including the second generation RAV4, Kia Sportage and the first generation Hyundai Tuscon, possibly in petrol form as i belive, and I stand to be corrected, they do not have Dual Mass Flywheel
• Ford Fiesta 1.4tdci - Whirring at 2000k revs 20 Jun 2016 (Forum)
  can't see anything. A local mechanic has had a look and thinks it may be the Dual Mass Flywheel and has given a quote of £850.  Does this seem a likely diagnosis and a reasonable quote? Thanks for all your help in advance.
• Mitsubishi Lancer (2009) 1.8MIVEC - Mechanical details (Cam, clutch etc 17 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  changes at 6k -- this is a pretty good indicator of a chain). 3) Do these cars have dual-mass flywheels? If the answers to these questions are all as I'm hoping, I may well acquire one of these. Yes I know they aren't the most interesting cars in the world but they're as good, if not better to drive
• Ford Focus - Focus Clutch - Sachs vs LUK 24 May 2012 (Forum)
  I want to replace my DMF (dual mass flywheel), clutch and slave cylinder on my 2009 Focus 1.8 TDCi (its done a lot of miles). I bought a DMF online, having given the car details and stated as being for 11/2004 onwards, they said it was LuK, it came in a LuK box, but inside the DMF was stamped
• Diesel for 5k - avoiding a lemon 24 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  get cold feet with regards to the various problems that might befall my potential purchase. Namely dodgy ECUs on the VAG 110 diesels, Octavia gearboxes that are 'fragile' and the dreaded dual mass flywheel issues that seem to afflict many newer diesels. Can anyone shed any light on the chances

  now on the korean, but far better equipped and also far better fuel economy than the honda engined rover from 1992. On the web forum I have found lots of good information on Dual mass flywheels, Particulate filters and driving style with both of these things on the car. What I never
• Skoda Octavia - Which Skoda diesel engine? 27 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  bet) Question: How do I identify a mk 2 1.9 105 TDi CR without the piezo injectors? Question: do any of these engines have the dual mass flywheel and/or diesel particulate filter? If so, and these are problematic, which is best to avoid? Thanks in advance Regards - phil
• Vauxhall Vectra B 2.2L - Rough running engine 5 Nov 2011 (Forum)
  of age and value the Vauxhall dealers do not wish to pursue the matter but the cheaper local garage is keen to follow up any sensible suggestion. They say problem like with a dual-mass flywheel but believe this not fitted to my car. New plugs and coil have been tried and engine mounts appear intact
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 04 2.0 tdci Strong clutch pedal 17 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  said that the pedal should be "light as a feather" and that it sounded like the dual mass flywheel (DMF) was seized or sticking. I understand from what he told me that the "DMF" is like a shock absorber to absorb the engine torque as the clutch "bites" and that this was designed to make power take up

  We have just returned home after a Dorset & Devon tour. The Beetle broke down in Bicester en route to Bath. The AA attended & correctly diagnosed the Dual Mass Flywheel as the problem. They piggy backed us to Bath, where Beetle was left at the main dealers. Flywheel was replaced & a new clutch
