Vibration Noise

[stevepil]

I have a 2002 1.9 TDI Passat with 80k on the clock, when im pulling away in a low gear, especially on a hill I am getting a vibration noise.

Doe sanyoe know what this may be, on reading up online it sounds like it may be my dual mass flywheel and clutch?

Others have said may be my auxillary belt? Its a wierd noise, sounds like the call will stall, and you lower clutch and its OK. When the car is idling you can also hear it.

The MPG on car is fine so not effecting fuel consumption.

Any views be great

Thanks

That could be DMF failure but it is difficult to say. Removing the starter can help diagnose this, if it is covered in goo then it will be the DMF.

Ok thanks mate, this is what I heard before it may be, got a uote for £600 for clutch and flywheel from mr Clutch, will have a look at the below next weekend and see if its covered in goo, if it is will have to get it sorted :O(

I had my clutch done by Mr Clutch in Bristol.. I was lucky as the DMF was OK. I would recommend them as I was satisfied with the service they gave me. They give a warranty and it took about 4 hrs.

Thanks again, much appreciated, out of interest what was the cost for just clutch, just so work out what the difference is incase its just the clutch and not DMF, thanks
