well that's my 2nd DMF kaput, taking the clutch with it. 1st one was on warranty, this one to change to a solid flywheel is a £750 hit (supply and fit) at my mechanic, too scared to get quote from main stealer. Only done around 65k on it* as well, but that seems to be average on a Skoda, as far as I can gather. Happy Days. :cry:

*replacement DMF (96K overall)

When they go....is it with a Bang or do they just stop working?

More of a crunch.

But you usually get plenty of noisy/vibrating notice for a few weeks before.

mine was more vibration and trouble getting gears, then no gears at all.
