new clutch & dmf fitted........

and what a difference its made, firstly, no more rattling

, and the gear changes and power feel a whole lot smoother than its felt since i got her. Whether changing the gear oil aswell and putting the new correct amount in has helped somewhat i dont know but im happy with the results of spending a small fortune on it haha.. also to top it off i fitted my 4 new kuhmo ku31 tyres and had a 4 wheel allignment to make sure they dont wear oddly and everything is set up correct. Only went for a 10 mile drive but im very impressed in this terrible wet weather we are having at the mo they seemed very grippy out on the road.So all in all i may have spent £885 but i can tell ive spent it which doesnt make it seem so bad

. So if your dmf is rattling and makin a lot of noise go get a new one and get it fitted you wont regret it lol

I finished fitin my new DMF and clutch at the weekend to my 3.2 and i'm so happy now. My Dmf hadn't gone but was on it's way so changed it with the clutch while the box was out. Flywheel cost me just over £370 for a luk one so was about £500 all in which wasn't too bad i suppose.

i got my clutch and flywheel for £440 and they was sachs which is what the mechanic took out today so they are the same as teh ones vx wanna charge about £800 for lol, and it cost me £84 + vat to get em fitted (staff discount) where i work lol

we say it's not bad but i've never had to replace a flywheel in any car i've ever owned. Stupid DMF's

i know, iver never done a clutch on a car, i did a turbo on a heavily modified s1 escort rs turbo (runnin 230bhp) and a stg rack on a mk3 golf gti 8v, but apart from that the odd bulb here n there lol..
