Thank you very much for this Oskars. This is the very problem I have on my TD5 Land Rover Defender 130 right now. I have spoken to some Land Rover specialist mechanics, and they say that the DMF will still hold together, even in its poor condition, as to help you get around until you can get another one. Thank you for the information too, especially for testing the oscillation run out and tolerance level, as that is definitely good to know. Sincerely, Matthew
Great simple explanation. I really appreciate you taking the time, more people need to see videos like this… that simply get to the point and give you the data needed to complete the task! Thankyou!
Thanks for this, I haven't done a lot of work on modern cars and have been given a clutch job on a car with a DMF and didn't know how to measure this. I'll be checking this tomorrow!
Good video, well explained. So many videos out there that say if there any rotational play then your DMF needs to be replaced. I know that's rubbish - as you have pointed out it's how much play is what matters, brand new ones all exhibit some play before 'hooking up'
I just removed the gearbox and clutch on my friend's car and was wondering if it was normal for the flywheel to have so much free movement. It's my first clutch change that involves a DMF so this is exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Thank you very much!
After four months of using the new SACHS set (clutch, dual mass flywheel), noises started after pressing the clutch pedal. I bought the old 22 years with the course of 300 thousand kilometers, the LUK two-mass flywheel in perfect condition. I wonder if this is the fault of incorrect installation or very low quality SACHS wheels.
Thanks for the video. I need to decide if I need to use a new dmf. In my case it's almost identical to my new one in play etc. So I may send the new one back.
Hy. Nice work. I need some help. Please tell me what that vaccum dose ? I've found the vaccum line down to the egr broken and I don't know for how long it wose like that. Or wen suppose to work ? Because I don't feel vaccum at all on the line. Thank you in advance
Hello mate I have a question,, I've got cluch out my st170 the dmf seems fine I've done wat u did with marking it it only turns past 3 teeth if that?? Also the front plate ther isn't really any play just little movements wat u think thanks steve I've subscribed and liked
Thank you, very helpful. I am curious about changing my 2006 BMW Z4 3.0si flywheel from a dual mass to a solid flywheel. I have seen comments that it can impact drivability negatively. Any comments on that aspect?
You will likely feel more vibration the dmf was designed to smooth out power impulses from the cylinders. I personally think it's an exceptable traid off.
Hi.... my astra cdti 1.9 120bhp was having problems starting..[ seemed like battery was draining ] so took it to garage about start up issue... they said my flywheel is knackered and is to blame .... car when started drived fine ... once got it back from garage can hear a big banging noice and clutch is now crunching .... took it back and he said it's the flywheel ... seems odd all this happened after they looked at it or just a coincidence..... can a bad flywheel stop car from starting
Greetings, thanks for the video! MK6 DSG GTI, intermittent issue hope you can help. Reverse gear won't engage, this maybe happens once every 400 miles. This has been ongoing for the past couple months. When it happens I turn the car off and back on and reverse works again no problem. Yesterday I found a pool of oil under the car. It's all over my pendulum mount. Pretty sure it's the main seal. I bought new upgraded clutch packs to hopefully solve the reverse issue and a main seal upgraded part. Should I expect a flywheel replacement too? The car has 130k miles on it. Anybody?
In this case the clutch was slipping a lot. Thats way you have to remove gearbox and check everything. Clutch disk was in good shape, then i checked dmf. But symphtoms may be different, like noise, vibration and others
I have a 02 Maxima with 238,000 miles and it seems as if the DMF springs have weakened to the point where taking off from a dead stop feels horrible. has that worn engine mount feeling. I installed energy suspension polyurethane mount bushings so now I'm suspecting that its the DMF. what do you think?
samuel lopes yeap, i give you 85%, that it is DMF, what is making that noise. My expierence with Volvo V70 - sound was like something want to come out from engine :D
there is option to rebuild it. but it is not DIY job, because you need many special tools and equipment to balance DMF after assembling. it costs more than half of the price of new one here in Latvia, so brand new one is best choice in my opinion.
I have a Skoda Octavia DMF ZSB06J105266PE, 52000klms, it has 5 teeth play, nothing wrong with the DMF as a wrecked vehicle, the real way to do it would be to bolt it to a fixed plate and use a torque wrench as you want to test spring tension, Manufacturers have test data, its Like testing valve springs certain weight v travel.
In this video you see method for freeplay, number of teeth depends on vehicle, for example, Volvo D5 engine, freeplay is up to 6 teeth, and it is manufacturer specified. Measuring spring resistance is another story.
these flywheels are a disaster, constantly failing and the car owner pays out again and again, i replace with single mass flywheels and i have never had a fail with any of them.
weld it ..... make a few shims .... that fit between the two parts and weld it together .... have welds at even spaces ....done this a couple of times ... toyota alteeza and porshe cayanne ... dual mess are not nesarse ary
Now , I understand free play of dual massage, gold information , thank you very much
Nice simple video, explained well, shame these things are so expensive to replace.
Come on it really isnt that expensive, theres a ton more stuff thats expensive compared to this

So hard to find video explaining this.. Awesome job and thanks

Agree with other comments quick and simle explaining. Thank you!

This is a good video just to demonstrate the way to measure not having ever seen one before. Also for mentioning the amount of tolerance allowed.
Well done a good explanation on how to understand the dual mass flywheel
The best simple explanation on the internet thanks for sharing with as
Actually doing it is the key. That’s where you gain the experience and knowledge. Knowledge is POWER.
Thank you for the information Sir. Time to brake out the Miller and make a duel mass a single mass.
you couldnt explain it better or simpler. very easy to understand
This was great information I appreciate the time you spent making it
Thanks Oskars. Excellent presentation. VERY clear! 👍

Great video: the free-play measurement method & the old vs new was really very helpful! Many thanks my friend.
EXCELLENT video. Informative and no bullsh!t. Thank you :-)
This was a very good video! Good camera/good explanations - straight forward to the point! Thank you very much Oskars! Roar.
This video is a good example Not sure why people have put thumbs down on this
Good informative video thanks for uploading , none of this 20 minutes face time before you even see a spanner
Thank you thank you thank you! Great video
thanks for the video. i was going to buy a new dual mass flywheel but now i see my own is good.
Thanks for a informative video, A great way to test once off the car.
Thank you for this great video! Amazing how there can be a perfect video explaining exactly what you need to know. 👍🏻😊
It's fals
Great video straight to the point thank you.

Best explanatin;
i remember my 1995 bmw 318 tds is checked like that,as per the factory manual.
Great job! Best video on DMF
Excellent presentation!
Very clear explanation. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Really good and easy explanation! It saved me a lot of trouble! Thank you again!

Roar Oskars. Good info, since I have problems with the DMF on my 1990 ZR-1. Mechanics recommend changing it to a solid?
Thank you, Oskars. Very useful video. 🙂
Thanks for the video. I need to decide if I need to use a new dmf. In my case it's almost identical to my new one in play etc. So I may send the new one back.
Thanks for the info, it is really helpful...
Thanks, you explained it well.
Hy. Nice work.
I need some help.
Please tell me what that vaccum dose ?
I've found the vaccum line down to the egr broken and I don't know for how long it wose like that.
Or wen suppose to work ? Because I don't feel vaccum at all on the line.
Thank you in advance
Good video 👍
Good explanation. Very clear.
Hello mate I have a question,, I've got cluch out my st170 the dmf seems fine I've done wat u did with marking it it only turns past 3 teeth if that?? Also the front plate ther isn't really any play just little movements wat u think thanks steve I've subscribed and liked
Thank you for the video. Is the tolerance problem maintainable?

This real example video
Thank you
Thank you very helpful video 👍
hi all , i got land rover discovery td5 and got very heavy clucth and some shaking at clucth pedal , is it dmf failure ?
Hi Oskar hope you ate fine, can I ask where about your garage please really nice video, or garage name
It is my private garage, in LV, in my homevillage
Okay thanks I thought you are in uk!!!
how long does a fly wheel usually lasts? & do you have to change it when replacing the clutch
Usually one flywheel goes for 2 clutches. But you always have to check that dmf
thanks for showing us that.
Nice.
👍

Jeez wear did you get that pilot bearing them? Mine went bad in my flywheel... thinking of calling the dealer
Thank you maestro.
Very good thank you
Thank you so much for this video 👍
Hello!
What was the mileage on the car when the flywheel was in this condition?
something about 250k Kilometers
Perfect!!!!!!.Subscribed
Great video...Very helpful.
great video, thanks very much....
hi, i have a problem with mk5 gti dsg when i brake 3 in 2 gear products click noise, this is a problem with dmf or mechatronik?
Can you make a video with the dsg 7 (dq 200) flywheel?
nice video mate!
Really appreciate your video thank you so much....

I changed my mercedes flywhell but it can't start anymore
good video man. good info.
Good one thanks!
What symptom did the car have to indicate you need a new one?
In this case the clutch was slipping a lot. Thats way you have to remove gearbox and check everything. Clutch disk was in good shape, then i checked dmf. But symphtoms may be different, like noise, vibration and others
Very good informacion for BMW cars
I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze and I can spin the flywheel 360° with one finger, is it bad?
And how do you think? ;)
Good one Oskars!
Thank you, I have exact same flywheel
What car?
I have a 02 Maxima with 238,000 miles and it seems as if the DMF springs have weakened to the point where taking off from a dead stop feels horrible. has that worn engine mount feeling.

samuel lopes yeap, i give you 85%, that it is DMF, what is making that noise. My expierence with Volvo V70 - sound was like something want to come out from engine :D
Or the option is only buying new one?
there is option to rebuild it. but it is not DIY job, because you need many special tools and equipment to balance DMF after assembling. it costs more than half of the price of new one here in Latvia, so brand new one is best choice in my opinion.
DO you have a source for the number of teeth for other makes?

DMF bad, SMF good.. that's all you need to know. Replaced mine with a Southbend stage 2 endurance smf clutch kit.
Just wait for cracked crankshaft :D DMF is not there without reason. And - sometimes there is no conversion kit for some cars.
thank you!
If you've already take the it out... Surely you already have a brand new one ready to install? Throw it away FFS
Good effort.
Good information! Thank you :-)
very informative thanks!
Brilliant, thankyou

DMFs suck. I can't wait to get rid of mine
Thanks bro, good video.
nice one mate
