Dual Mass Flywheel or not

[JT_Bush]

Does anyone know if my 1998 110tdi Passat SE will have a dual mass flywheel or just a normal one. Ive rung a couple of vw specialists and they have quoted 2 figures for a clutch change as even they arent sure!

I think its either AFN, AVG or ATJ!

AFN and AVG use the same flywheel, so that narrowed it down. Just not sure which flywheel it is! :confused:

All dual mass flywheels...

Searching 1998 Passat I'm only getting part numbers for flywheels on AEB, ATW & AUG Engines.

Engine code is AFN. Ive had a look through the Haynes manual for the car, and it doesnt mention DMF, just your normal flywheel!

I had my clutch done a few months ago on 1999 tdi (AFN) and I was told it was a Dual Mass F/wheel and that it was OK and did'nt need replacing, so I was lucky I guess!!Let's hope you have the same luck!

It would rattle like a bag of nails if it was not a DMF...they were fitted as an refinement. There is an Valeo single mass flywheel wich can be fitted onto the tdi engine, but i would not reccomend it at all. Stick to the factory parts and you will be fine. There is no better aftermarket upgrade than the factory Sachs/Luk flywheel.....
