Is a solid flywheel a lot cheaper than a dual-mass flywheel replacement for the average family car?

What difference does it make to the car?

It's a bit cheaper first time you do the clutch and a lot cheaper next time, since you don't have to change the flywheel again.

Best move I ever made with the Sharan.

Thanks, gusmac.

I would very much hope that I wouldn't need to do it again, so it's a one-off cost in my case, but it's always useful to bear in mind what you said. :)

Im not struck on those DMFs...mines judders like hell if you accelerate slightly to quickly before the clutch is ready...hate it.

DMF's are the devil in clutch changes.

I had mine changed to the single system over 100,000 miles ago no problems
Got it done for £250 all in

Allegedly there is not one available for the 2ltr tdis only all the 1.9 tdis

When I had a clutch done on a previous Sussex-mobile I had a blank DMF put in despite it being in good condition. Didn't notice the difference one bit.

That's cheap :shock: Delear quoted £1,300 for clutch/DMF, independent maybe £800.

Bummer, it's the 2.0 VAG unit I'm talking about :sad:

Could do while yet though, no real noise yet, just feels a bit funny and sticky at times.

They usually rattle for ages before they go.






Don't quote me on that though.... :lol:

First they start being sticky then they start sounding like a cement mixer full of gravel
Its when it decide to escape through the gearbox casing that's the problem

The best advise if you cannot get a single sytem is buy from an independant like Sachs

STOOOOOPID

DMFs ARE STOOOOOPID

BTW, only Mercedes fit the better "planetary" type DMF from Sachs

Post subject: 
even STOOOPIDER than DMFs are the CSCs (slave cylinders) fitted INSIDE the bloody bellhousing, now think, for ease and cheap fixes, do we put stuff INSIDE the bellhousing (and need to strip the engine and box to get to) or OUTSIDE, held on by 2 bolts?...

der.....let me think about that, can i go 50/50?
