Guest topcarp2 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 just had my galaxy 2 days now and ive noticed that when you start it up and rev it from idle there is a rumble from the engine area.if i the press the clutch down and rev it there is no noise..ive phoned my local garage today to see if it could be a noisy clutch release bearing and was told that its the flywheel thats causing the problem(he called it a mass..something or other???)..and its a common problem and quoted me over Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 Dual mass density flywheel? sound right? yes the 2.3 has one and yes it can fail the two sections seperate and can do a bit of damage in the process! Quote
Guest marcusheawood Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 ...It's probably true, if you leave it the flywheel bolts may well shear in quick succession.Happened to a Suzuki Vitara I fixed, exactly the same symptoms and by the time I got the car three bolts had snapped and I removed the other three with my fingers! I shudder to think of the damage if it had completely let go. Quote
Guest topcarp2 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 been to the local fraud garage today to have it checked and they tell me the niose is normal,there is nothing wrong with the flywheel and iv,e nothing to worry about...didnt manage to explain the noise tho...would have thought they would have been only too willing to give me a price for something at least Quote
Guest stevebm1 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Posted July 28, 2005 obviously they were busy ripping off other people! Quote
