Is this DMF failure?

[PullersSWK]

Hi Guys.

Opinions please…..

Would you suggest this noise is DMF failure?

It had one at VW approx 30k ago, DSG, doesn’t have any effect on function of the van as yet, bit strange if it’s going already!

Would you replace this asap?

Vans done 123k so worth doing a clutch pack to?

Full history with DSG oil changes and flywheel previously.

Cheers

Sounds very much like it. Mine sounded the same, had a DMF at around 35K miles under warranty. 204 DSG PV.

Yes swap as soon as, leave clutch alone.

Hi Rolla,

Thanks for this.

Can I ask, just for my own knowledge mate, why leave the clutch alone?

Thanks buddy

Chris

Hi Chris, for a moment I thought I'd posted wrong... but no, If your "wet" clutch is working fine, leave alone, un-warranted expense
are there any reasons for swap except having it all apart is a major bill..?
I don't know the lifespan of the DSG wet clutch packs, but have seen vehicles with twice your mileage, you can read the gearbox ecu with VCDS, what I have seen fail on 250k+ vehicles is the mechatronics valves stick/fail/throw codes ...... thats if it's not chewed it's o/s driveshaft and diff up...... mine driveshaft splines went at 142K ... now it's got 4motion so I hope my DMF lasts.
**note... if you remove the wet cover, throw it away, input shaft seals compromised and will leak.!
I had that on mine as I wasn't informed it had been removed, the seal tool and clutch cover is only £50-60 from vw commercials... only issue is gearbox out again, so new oil, subframe bolts and sore as working on floor ... lol

That’s awesome (good news for my wallet)

Everydays a school day! Thanks buddy.

Yes that’s the DMF and even though you could probably drive with it like that it won’t get any better. Clutch wise for a DSG, that’s inside the gearbox and costs a lot, as it’s a wet clutch in a T6. But Iwould get the DMF ireplaced sooner rather than later. To avoid further damage

Had same kind of noise. It was the auxiliary drive belt.
I would advice you check it before unnecessary changing the DMF.
On my van, 225000 km, DMF was still good to go.

Hi All,

Mines making a simular noise.

On cold start up, I get that noise, but after driving 2 mile (or even off the drive) the noise is gone.

Would you say it's the same thing?

Manual 5 speed 102ps

Update.

My sound goes away as soon as the clutch pedal is pressed. Could be the thrust nearing, but there's no history of clutch change.

Had various quotes ranging from £1,000-1,400 for dual mass and clutch kit

How did you get on? This describes the exact thing im experiencing. Im on a little less mileage, 76k, but I fear it could be a costly solution. I've heard others having the same issue and been told not to worry until the sound is constant but im looking to sell soon and it wouldnt sit right with me to pass on the problem

Mines the dual mass flywheel 100% it's booked in next month. My sound goes away as soon as clutch pedal pressed, but appears as soon as I take it off. If I drive for like 800yards, it goes completely

Did you have the DMF replaced @TheGrapeEscape ? Has it cured the problem…. and did you go for the full clutch kit as well??

 

[Johnod17]

This sounded like my van before I had the DMF, slave cylinder and clutch changed.
I think my van had done about 115k now all OK

Mine was the DMF. Had it changed and it drives like a dream now

Edit: yeah full clutch kit with it @T6ARF
