seatkid Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 Your car is a Mk1 fitted with a Tdi engine. Dual Mass Flywheels were introduced with PD engines in the MKII I think. Mr Clutch.....bad news......avoid like the plague and people who recently visited Mexico. Damaged flywheels due to excessive loss of friction material causing rivet/metal to metal contact (and a lot of noise), can be refurbished by removing them and having them skimmed on a lathe in a professional metal working workshop - but only if the flywheel remains in spec (thickness) after machining. Very rarely done nowadays - it is expensive and probably cheaper to fit a new flywheel. Grind? Definitely not! Sorry but youve been screwed....... Quote
