• Vauxhall corsa d 1.3 cdti 07 plate - Dmf 7 Feb 2013 (Forum)
  Hello everyone, A bit of a pre emptive question. Fingers crossed as yet my dmf is ok. However when the time comes I was wondering about the pros/cons of replacing it with a single flywheel. In addition what do people think a reasonable price is for having the clutch/ flywheel replaced, both for single and dual variants.
• vw bora 1.9 tdi pd 130 - bora intermitant judder 27 Oct 2011 (Forum)

• Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi 2002 - Lumpy Starting 3 Sep 2013 (Forum)
   This time it was a different employee but they thought that it was the DMF disintegrating.  Quoted £650 for the replacement of clutch, DMF and slave! The starter engages and disengages cleanly.  The gears change smoothly.  The clutch does not slip.

• Nissan Micra K13 Petrol 2013 1.2i (Acenta 2010) - Does my car have a DMF or not? 18 Nov 2024 (Forum)
  The head mecanic at my local Nissan dealer test drove it this morning and says the cluch has worn out. To my slight surprise he said he didnt know if it has a DMF or not, though I kind of assume with it being a small petrol engine it doesn´t? Does anyone know for sure ?To change just the clutch with them its 900 Euros but 1600 Euros to change the DMF as well.
• Peugeot Boxer Van 2006 (New Shape) - Dual Mass Flywheel causing vehicle vibration 26 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  I have had another compresion test done and compression is good in all cylinders. the main dealer is still saying that the replacement of the DMF would not rectify the running problem, and certainly not rectify the compression. My argument against the main dealer is that the new DMF has sorted out running problem but obviously the new DMF wil not rectify compression, I believe an error was made in the initial compression test which led me to incur unessesary costs in stripping the head down.

• Ford Focus - Rattle on engine stop TDCi 29 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  (reposting from Motoring Discussion section) I have posted before about clutch/DMF issues on the Focus 1.8 TDCi. I have recently bought one, 2009 with 134k. I decided that given the high mileage and a rattling sound that it would be prudent to change the clutch, DMF, slave cylinder and gearbox oil (as the car is young and in overall very good condition).

• Volkswagen T5 Transporter 1.9 - Pilot bearing 17 Jul 2019 (Forum)
  Hi, Can someone tell me if the flywheel on the 1.9AXB comes with a pilot bearing or if the pilot bearing is located on the transmission and comes off with throwout bearing guide? I'm having the clutch and dmf swaped with a valeo kit4p and the dmf seems to have no pilot bearing but after searching on part sites it seems that the throwout bearing guide is considered a pilot bearing.  
• Mitsubishi Outlander Diamond 2.2 - oil covered clutch 19 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  main dealer replaced the clutch on my 2009 outlander (80k miles) due to slipping under load.  Within 300 miles the crank oil seal has failed (they did replace it)  covering the DMF and clutch with oil.  The dealer now just wants to replace the clutch and not the oil covered DMF...is this correct or should they replace both?

  Does the crank sensor read the flywheel - ie, if the flywheel is worn would it tell cam sensor that the timing is out?
• Vauxhall Insignia CDTI - DMF on Insignia - Vauxhall wont reply!! 6 Sep 2016 (Forum)
  I feel that a DMF failure at 40k is not really good enough - the car is immaculate inside and out and has never been spared a penny. My wife will attest that the car gets more love and care then she does. Wrong I know, but that is just how it is.

• Ford Focus Combi 2008 1.6tdci 80kw - Ratle sound 1.6tdci Ford Focus G8DB 1 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  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, a ratle wich apear aywhere from 1200rpm  and disapears just when reaching aprox 1700-1800rpm. I do not think the ratle is DMF related because I am not experiencing variations in the idle speed or hard vibrations through the chasis similar to my past experience with the faulty DMF on a VW T5.
