Im going to presume yours is a CDTI, in which case its the Dual Mass Flywheel.

Not cheap to have repaired!

yeah its a 1.9 cdti 150bhp signum

red other threads about the fly wheel, do you have to have a full clutch? and anyone idea on price

Cost me a grand all in with parts and labour for clutch/flywheel, and thrust bearing parts were proper vx ones and independant fitted them

Ive had the rattle for 52k now but it will go anytime.

Some hold out others dont.

Get in quick as Vx have got wise and when they insepct it, if they find blue marks (burns) on the flywheel they will not pay out as they will call it 'wear and tear'.

Jeeesus, best get my finger out, its only done 28k as well :-(

Mine went 100k with the rattle but when it goes the 6 bolts that hold flywheel on can be hard to get off the longer you leave it

Yep flywheel. If there is no wear to the clutch plate you may get away with just the flywheel. How do I know this? Cuz we are waiting for our flywheel to arrive at the dealers, great after having the car for only 3 weeks! Common fault I am afraid.
