All Things Mk5 > Mk5 General Area
What did you and your MKV do today?
skkane:
Installed the carplay / android auto capable usb/aux box with the wiring.
skkane:
Changed the flywheel. Old PN was discontinued, new PN you can only find OEM for 1100 euros... Insane. Fitted a Sachs one, used on diesels with dq250 dsg. Works great and only costs ~300 euros. Sachs part number 2295 000 541.
That pilot bearing is a massive PITA to take out without the proper VAG extractor tool. We chiselled away at it till it came out in little pieces, wasted an hour on that crap and it's a 30sec job with the tool. All the youtube guides with bread / grease are useless.

What was the reason for needing to change the flywheel? How many miles had it done or what was the symptoms?

No idea how many kms on it, car had ~270k when I got it 2 years ago with 4 previous owners. It has ~309k now.
It rattled one time in N during standstill and was pretty rough / jerky when coming to a standstill after a while driving thru bad city traffic. The shift from 2nd to 1st was pretty crap, dropping revs to ~600, felt like a beginner driving a manual transmission and almost stalling the engine.
It was definitely livable with as I don't really drive that much during rush hour but changed it for peace of mind. Drove all day and it felt smooth as silk.

Interesting! Is this for a MK5 GTI or Diesel?
