I have a DMF currently (or as I was told by euro car parts) in my 55 1.9 TDI Stylance BKC
Apparently my flywheel is on its way out so I'm looking for a Clutch and Flywheel kit.
I saw eBay item number: 172093392551
It's advertised as a Dual Mass Replacement Flywheel inc clutch kit
The description states:
Dual Mass Replacement Flywheel Clutch Kit
This DMR Clutch Kit is a direct solid conversion for your Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF).
This DMR Clutch Kit contains the following:
Clutch Cover Assembly
Clutch Plate
Release Bearing
Solid Flywheel
Clutch Cover Bolts
Flywheel Bolts
And the seller says its compatible with my 1.9 MK2 BKC
It's £150, any reasons as to why it is so cheap? I don't plan to keep the car for too long either, I just want to replace the flywheel before it "damages my gearbox".
I was quoted labour from a few garages including MrTyre around £100-120 for the clutch and Flywheel
I've actually used the search here and found lots of threads on DMF and SMF's, why are they so bloody expensive compared to the one I plan to buy? I'm always reading prices ranging from £600-£1200 for a DMF, what's the catch?
As I'll reiterate again the car I will not be keeping for too long but need to address this flywheel issue since it's easier to fix it then to sell it and buy another car. (I'm lazy).
The actually issues in getting are a judder when pulling off from first gear, the engine doesn't sound normal either it makes a few noises when I press and depress the clutch, when I'm at idle, and just generally driving, doesn't have that "TDI" sound, sounds a bit rusty underneath. Had a Major service and Cambelt but that didn't help with any noises. Not to mention my Turbo is sirening but no loss of power or smoke, just a feint tapping noise when I switch off my engine. Don't know if the tapping is the turbo or the flywheel.
