    DSG Auto DMF Failing or Failures Thread

    Listening to your video it's hard for me to tell. It's difficult to get a good recording and playback (esp on my cellphone speaker) that is the same as what you will hear in person. I didn't take a video of mine before replacement, but it sounded / rattled like the link below at idle and wound...

    Bad DMF anything else to check?

    Just replaced my Dual Mass Flywheel at 107k. Glad to have the rattle gone.

    Do I have to support the engine/transmission to drop the subframe?

    There are upper Engine and Trans mounts near the strut towers. My 06 DSG also has a lower mount as seen below.

    DSG Auto DMF Failing or Failures Thread

    Mine has had the rattle that will come and go for 4 years or so iirc. Over the Summer I started noticing an out of balance vibration when slowly raising the RPM off idle - I decided it's time. I am collecting parts now with a few more on the way. The DMF has arrived from Diesel Geek. I plan on...

    How many hours to replace a 2006 DMF ?

    Tta my 2006 has 102k on it now. My day is coming on this repair as well. I suspect yours has a healthy rattle by now. What made you decide to change it at 120k? What mileage did your mechatronic unit go out?

    How Are The DSG Trannies Working Out?

    Over 100k miles now. I have gotten the flashing PRNDS fault twice. Pulled/cleared the codes @ 96k around June of '13 then it occurred again early this year around January. Cleared the codes, this time recallibrated the DSG and no other problems so far with better shifting. Codes point towards a...

    Rattling Noise

    Mine has done this for several years, I also suspect the DMF. It's not all the time, but often. Usually with it rattling at idle in Park you can slightly raise the engine rpm and it will go away.

    UOA 57,023Mi - High Piston Aluminum

    This has been my strategy. All is still well at 97k miles, No problems at all. I switched to 5W40 Pento over 4 years ago @ 65.6k. I have not had another UOA completed. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    CV Boot Replacement (outer)

    I completed this job this yesterday in a couple of hours. 1) I did not remove the axle. I only removed the 3 lower ball joint nuts after paint marking their original location to confirm position on reassembly. I removed these with a 3/8 ratchet and re installed per Section 40-3 From Bentley...

    recommendations for tires on '10 jetta TDI sportwagen

    My car came with the MXV4s and reached the indicators around 70k. I am still on my second set now and have no complaints. I will say that the last 20k I get out of them they will spin easily taking off in the rain. For what your looking for there may be a better option. Sent from my DROID...

    Smell from AC

    Turning the AC off and running the fan for a while with outside air before shutdown will help remove and prevent this issue. Very common. Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX using Tapatalk 2
