GT TDI flywheel..?

[screech]

When the car was started up from cold, i could hear this slight knock from the engine, put the clutch down and it stopped, brought it up again and it was knocking again...

Once it was warm and we opened the bonnet, there was no knock...

Is this the DMF failing??
If so, how much are parts going to cost me???


Cheeers

Sounds exactly like mine on my golf PD130, that happened at 76k and cost £930 (Including new clutch)

Where was that done? Main dealer? Any idea what parts alone cost, cheers.

Its about £270 for a full kit, DMF and new clutch. Cost me £500 inc parts and labour in total. Mine failed at 156,000. The difference is emence once you get a new one installed.

Oh thats not AS bad as i thought it was going to cost! Hopefully my bro will be able to do it so will only cost me parts and a night at the pub!

In what was does it make a difference when changed?

cheers

Well, on mine I found In was losing power for some reason but after having it done it was smoothed out so much felt like I got the response back! Having the new clutch made a difference too. Pedal is nice and smooth now. The flywheel on mine was totally nackered. Managed to get a look at it when he took it out. Worth a look. Does yours knock when you slightly depress the clutch pedal down? Thats how mine started you could feel vibration through the pedal then at high torguw at low revs it used to vibrate like hell!

Ok thats great, il keep an eye on it!

At the mo, all i get is on cold starting, theres a knock when the clutch is up, the knock goes when i put it down. But once round the block it doesn't do it... touch wood!

cheers
