2008 passat 2.0 tdi 140 - dual mass flywheel?

Hi all,
Hope your well!?
Think i bought a dud vdub! Haha
Im new to the VW club, this is my first but hoping to get myself in the near futore an old transporter to restore :)
Im hoping someone can help me out please as im baffled and so are others with this car

2 weeks ago i bought a 2008 2.0 tdi passat.
The garage put a new turbo on it (it failed MoT and needed replacing)
The last week or so i have had some noises coming from the engine. Ive been told its all down to the dual mass flywheel needing replacing.
I have the symptoms below
- a weird whine on start up - https://youtu.be/XaWeVUpQtDw
- poor cold start up, sometimes cuts out
- puff of smoke out on start up
- rough rattle from engine especially while depressing clutch
Hopefully someone has an idea whats going on and hope it is something simple!
Many thanks and look forward to chatting to you
Dale

The startup whine sounds like the pinion bushing in the starter is worn out. I would confirm by listening to it during start, with an automotive stethoscope.

Hard to say on the others without listening to them as well

Hi

Thankyou for your reply!
Thats a new one ! Noone said starter motor to me up until now, oddly it has started up a couple of times today without the noise!?
Would that also cause the puff of smoke and “misfire” on start up?
The dmf has started rattling so i know thats ready i guess.
Why would they put the glow plugs in the cylinder head - meaning another £40 gasket just to change the plugs!
Thanks
