Hi, guys I recently upgraded my OEM DMF clutch on Octavia 2 (2006).
I went for Sachs SRE with Darkside Development flywheel.
I'm aware of slighter noisier idle with SMF flywheel (I used to have Subaru and TDi is nice and quite in comparison
What scares me most that after about 100km my car started to make scary noises under partial/heavy load...standard acceleration from 5 to 6th gear. Or pushing it hard in mountains at any gear.
It sounds like barking noise similar to leaks in intake manifold. It is not happening in gear 1-4 under normal/partial load but it is standard at 5-6th gear even at highway cruise speed. I get same power as before but I'm not sure whether this is normal noise with SMF.
The flywheel seems to be dodgy from beginning and I suspect there is something wrong with it - poorly machined and balanced.
Any suggestions, please?
