My 2001 Golf TDI 5 speed had developed the telltale vibration that says that the DMF is on it's way out. No big deal, I did the same job years ago on my 2005 Jetta so I dove in. When I got to the flywheel, yep, she's dead Jim.
Ok, no problem. When I did the Jetta I was able to rotate the outer part of the flywheel so the holes lined up. (After much hammering) nope. Time to break out the angle grinder:
I didn't bother locking the flywheel down, my impact wrench made short work of the bolts
I've actually got a bunch of work to do since the car has 220,000+ miles on it. I'm replacing the shocks and struts, pulling the intake to clean it, and checking the turbo to make sure the vanes are free and the actuator is working.
Yeah, I should probably clean that.
Looking forward to the whole project, it's been a while since I've had any serious car work to do.
