Re: Possible DMF failure - Car people

If you need to repace the DMF there's a possible other solution:

Quote:
Because of expensive unreliability issues with dual-mass flywheels[3] there has been a trend to fit solid flywheels from lower power models of the same engine.[4] Some mechanics have even welded the dual mass elements together.[5] These 'fixes' have resulted in instances of gearbox damage and damage to engine crankshafts, as well as refinement and drive-ability issues.

Long established parts maker Valeo has developed a properly engineered 4-piece clutch kit to replace the DMF. The UK introduction was at the end of 2005.[6] It is claimed to provide increased reliability for the expensive replacement operation (labour time cost and the part cost), of the dual-mass flywheel. The 4-piece kit is composed of a traditional rigid flywheel and long travel damper consisting of a cover assembly, a high performance drive plate and a release bearing. Rigorous R&D testing showed the 4-piece kit performs just as well in terms of overall clutch operation, transmission protection, comfort and improves heat dissipation and durability. The transmission protection provides full engine and gearbox safety; the 4-piece kit matches the DMF for mechanical vibration reduction and therefore limits premature wear within the gearbox. The long travel damper closely matches the damping performance of a DMF. Fitting times are also comparable.
