Also doing this job this weekend. Thanks for the tips!! LUK doesn’t bag the pilot bearing and I had more cardboard fibres than grease in mine. I had to wait for a replacement from the dealer.
@ it’s really to bad, it was $41 from the dealer for something that I already had. Thanks again for posting this video, it was super helpful. A friend helped me out dropping the trans and it all went pretty smoothly.
Damm that’s a heck of a job by yourself.. I really enjoy your videos Josh bc I myself am doing everything alone and I’ve learned so much from your content on the TDI JSW .. the DPF went in great .. but I’m not sure I’d be able to tackle DMF .. well maybe .. I think I’m gonna check out that kit bc I’m hearing a similar sound on start up.. just been putting it off .. I think it’ll be a summer project
That’s why I ended up buying that engine tower bar, on 5 speed cars I use the engine hoist to hold the engine and then bench press the trans in/out and that’s a pain. I know for sure I wouldn’t be able to do the dsg so this set up worked quite well. I put this one off quite awhile but I’ve got some more power-adders on the way so I figured I should take care of the flywheel first.
Hi, enjoyed this video as l have a VW Golf Mk6 1.6 tdi here in the UK. Please may l ask for any purchase info you have on the engine support bar you used. As l feel l would like to have one of these
@@JoshsJettas just did my mom's DM flywheel, i didn't want to get back in there for a bit and plus the rear main was leaking a tiny bit. now it's not losing a drop of oil at 290k miles
@@tumbllweed oh yea, for sure. I bet because of the diesel, but my mom's was having a troubling slight oil leak. chnaged her DM flywheel and rear main seal and now it doesn't drip any oil... i just figure once you have the trans off, just replace the seal while you're staring at it. :)
Hey man, love your videos. I have a 2011 Sportwagen that i just did the DPF "replacement". Ive been hearing that sound ever since i bought it, I thought it was one of those noises that diesels make lol. My question is what are the risks of not replacing the DM flywheel?
Yeah buying a new trans when it flys apart. I pushed this one for awhile but it started sounding different so I was afraid it was time (also have some more power adders coming soon).
Nice job getting that done in a day. I need to do this to a 13 Jetta w/135K miles that I picked up for my son as it was bought with a noisy DMF. Was that the Rock Auto available LUK DMF126 you used? Did you end up having to cut the outer hub off the flywheel to get to the bolts (I had a 05 Golf that it was so twisted the only rescue was an angle grinder and cutoff wheel). Fortunately my 12 Passat is only just starting to make a little noise at 225k miles so I can wait on it, lol.
It’ll be the same but I got it from cascade German as I already had a crate being shipped so they threw it in. Surprisingly no it wasn’t twisted just noisy, I’ve had to do the same but this one i just rotated by hand and it lined up
Is there two different size bolts for the transmission? Seen some videos where someone put a hole through their block because the bolts were different length.
Having the engine support bar and engine hoist makes this so much easier even on the smaller O2j saves a wrestling match.
Yes I’m excited for that, the 02J is doable but this will make it easier. The support bars been on my list for quite awhile
Perfect timing! I'm literally doing this exact job this weekend.
How did it go?
@JoshsJettas I decided to replace my rear main seal during the job, but I didn't realize I needed a special tool for it. Otherwise, it went good!

Yeah I thought it was weird they wouldn’t bag it, mine was similar.

great video! did you have to do dsg adaptation through VCDS?
No adaptation needed, if your changing fluid or internal work then you would need to
Hope you changed the rear main seal :)
I know I’ll wish I did, I’ll catch it on the next flywheel change

Not a bad idea but surprisingly the rear main seals on the diesels tend to hold up much better than the gasoline engines.

There is different sizes and I believe the starter vs bell housing is different lengths. I didn’t label anything and they all went back together fine
once you have a bolt on the bottom and it almost all the way on - pushing from the drivers wheel well helps get it on the last bit.
I just couldn’t get over how nice it went together, but I’m used to tractors/equipment
i had my coworker do mine second week of november after having the noise since feburary
Yeah this one went quite awhile
KESS3? Dealer for Malone/tunezilla now?
A dealer/installer for their sister company which tunes farm equipment. I just use the pro-tool for the few TDI’s that I work on.
