Hi Guys,
I have a 2005 Mk5 Golf TDI DSG with the 2.0 140HP BKD engine. It's on just over 150k miles and recently I've done a bit of work on it. To cut a long story short it's had a new flywheel (Genuine LUK) and replacement known good gearbox. I did all the work myself but am pretty confident everything was done up correctly and I used new TTY bolts for the flywheel, correctly torqued. Problem I'm having is a loud tinny rattle when shutting off the engine. To me it sounds like a failing flywheel and I'd be looking for a replacement were it not for the fact that I know the flywheel is brand new!
So my question - before I pull the thing apart again (not good outdoors in UK this time of year), is there anything else that could be causing it? The flywheel definitely needed replacing - the old one was completely seized, but I think I had this rattle before starting the job too. I was a little confused when I found the seized flywheel as I was expecting a loose rattly one bearing in mind the shutdown noise.
The car drives great, no clunks, bangs or rattles when driving and gear changes are silky smooth.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ted
