Hi Guys....I own a S6 C4 1996 Avant..I believe the clutch is about to go and have been told I will defo need to replace the dual mass flywheel at the same time.

Would anyone know where I might buy one....please...I may have to scrap this fantastic car :(

many thanks

Mark

Hello Mark,

Can I take it you are considering a new DMF rather than a secondhand one? 

If new, I would have thought they would have been available from manufacturer LUK who supply replacement clutches. There are other replacemnt clutch component manufacturers, but personally I stick with LUK. You could try on line, or your local motor factors. 

Good luck with it.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Also just like to chuck an Alternative out there, whocanfixmycar.com, see what everyone quotes you to do the job could be really cheap :) 

Hi Mark...welcome to the Forum

It is always advised to replace the DMF at the same time as the clutch but it should be measured first to see if there is any excess play in it. Usually, they recommend a new DMF for every second clutch change regardless.

Reason for replacement is that it is the labour costs of replacing it if it goes when it could be done with the clutch for no extra cost.

Every case should be judged independantly and it may be that it was replaced previously and also how it has been driven in the past.

Totally agree with Magnet on making sure and LUK is fitted as a replacement...I wouldn't fit anything else.

Also, agree with Brad-B5 with getting several quotes for the job

Let us know how you get on with it

Cheers  Trevor
