Post by: craigy123 on March 06, 2012, 05:15:05 pm: I've not heard or it either. A flywheel juddger isn't a good sign.

Post by: stealthwolf on March 06, 2012, 05:20:18 pm: Is this when you've raised the clutch too high and it's about to stall? If so, dip the clutch,

Otherwise there's something a miss.

Correct, dual mass flywheel was invented for noise and to be smoother
Vibration means something's not right

Post by: mvb12 on March 06, 2012, 07:42:50 pm: VW didn't make a car that judders! strange statement to make :surprised:
Title: Re: why did VW..
Post by: GrayMK5GTI on March 06, 2012, 08:57:56 pm: Mine makes a bit of a judder if I dont give it enough revs when setting off. I read somewhere that DMF's like revs to work properly ( quietly) :smiley:

I was looking at this yesterday. Try googling techniclutch and then decide whether to go with them or not. Put me right off :chicken:

Post by: Stevenebm on March 07, 2012, 10:21:45 am: Do not use techniclutch what ever you do.be better of putting jam on a dinner plate and using that as a clutch.it would last longer.
Title: Re: why did VW..
Post by: reflex11 on March 07, 2012, 10:25:33 am: the only clutchkit/DMF i can find for sale is LUK.. shall I just go for that :S ..clutch kit/DMF £380 all in from eurocarparts side company?
