Dual mass flywheel

Featured Replies

Can anyone tell me what the signs are if the flywheel is about to die. The clutch seems to be ok it's just a vibration every now and then under load. 4th _5th foot to the boards. The car has been remapped.

Cheers folks.

From experience you can normally hear it! when the engine is idling in nautral, if you can hear a rattling noice that goes when you press the clutch then it is on its way out!

There's no noise at all, just a vibration that lasts for a second or two. It only happens when under high torque loads and in a high gear.

I imagine it's just the flywheel going mental as it's being asked to do a hell of a lot. DMFs are notorious to be rubbish on any car and when you have a mapped engine and plant your foot in a high gear it's just too much for them to handle. I would just be a bit more driver friendly on the flywheel especially as it's gotta deal with even more power.

 

I could be wrong but just my 2p worth

That sounds about right. I'll just have to resist flooring the throttle.
