Raffa Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I h芒ve a A3 Quattro on a 14 plate, i love the car, i normally keep a car 2 years and change it but I鈥檝e had this car 4 years, I just had it mot last weekend and it passed no problem, as I look after it and keep up with everything, but the garage told me that my fly wheel was making a little noise, anyone else had this problem and what did they do and how much to get it fixed, thanks in advance聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Hello Rafa, It sounds as if your garage has diagnosed the start of a failing dual mass flywheel (DMF). If so, it is likely to get worse, so if it were mine, I would treat this with respect, and get a second opinion.聽 Sorry to be pessimistic, but if this is correct, it is quite a expensive repair, since the gearbox has to be removed, and it would be wise to invest in a new clutch assembly while it is out.聽 What mileage has it covered by the way?聽 Kind regards, Gareth.聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr-x Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Hi Raffa I used to own a 2.2 Diesel 聽Mondeo but in the end I sold it because I was sick of being told or reading about DMF failure which was always a four figure number to repair. I had mine mapped and removed the DPF and I used to drive it like a !Removed!. Not heard anything about A3 failures but as Magnet said I would definitely get a second opinion from somebody you trust if you can聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
