Hi All,
I've posted in the forum about a year ago re: DMF Failure.
Let me give you some background......
Ex RAC T6 150 - At 90k had a replacement DMF whilst on fleet replaced by VW in Colchester I believe. I brought the van at 123k and a short time after noticed the tones of DMF failure.....chattering away to itself so booked it in with Quattro Tech In Cambs who replaced it with a new genuine DMF - Was much quieter and seemed to solve the issue. Now coming up to 131k and guess what's back......what sounds like DMF chatter. Surely it cant want a third in 40,000 miles.
The van does no towing now, isn't launched, abused etc but I'm feeling a bit miffed! Its been worse since the temps have dropped but very noticeable on idle from cold.
The other issue I've started noticing is there is a definite clonk coming down the box from 3rd into 2nd, I am conscious of it so maybe being to gentle and it definitely seems to hold 2nd for longer before changing up to 3rd - What's people opinions?
From what I can see its never had a clutch pack and I'm told this should last until around 160k
Id love to get the TVS DSG map from @BognorMotors but want this resolving once and for all - I've spent so much on this thing since I've owned it I reckon itll be in the family for generations just to justify it...LOL
Any thoughts guys?
