  • Volkswagen Tiguan (2008) - VW Tiguan Flywheel (DMF) Collapse 18 Feb 2013 (Forum)
    My VW Tiguan has had a DMF collapse after only 52,000 miles.  This seems a little premature?  Are there any known issues with the AutoHold function causing premature failure of the DMF?

  • Ford Focus ST170 - petrol - To DMF or not? 14 Jun 2016 (Forum)
    The clutch needs to be replaced. Quotes taken - 1 garage says there isn't a DMF & one says the car does. I just need to know which is correct. If it does have a DMF I'll change both - just need to know if I need to start saving! Thanks.
  • Ford Mondeo - Faulty DMF on 04 Plate petrol Mondeo 7 Dec 2011 (Forum)
    The garage has advised that the DMF needs replacing but they hadn't seen one on a petrol car, is this right and are there any chepaer alternatives. If I go ahead with the DMF, is there anything else I need to check has been changed at the same time?

  • DMF - Petrol and diesels? 20 Jan 2010 (Forum)
    Use of dual mass flywheels on diesels is now commonplace and has the potential to give rise to well documented problems. I thought I read somewhere that they are also used (or starting to be used) with some petrol engines? Does anybody have any insights? Will a DMF in a petrol last longer
