How to check your DMF - Dual Mass Flywheel (Bad Dmf diagnose. 

Nice simple video, explained well, shame these things are so expensive to replace.

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

Now , I understand free play of dual massage, gold information , thank you very much

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!

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.

Actually doing it is the key. That’s where you gain the experience and knowledge. Knowledge is POWER.

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!

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!

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

Thank you for the information Sir. Time to brake out the Miller and make a duel mass a single mass.

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

Well done a good explanation on how to understand the dual mass flywheel

This was great information I appreciate the time you spent making it

you couldnt explain it better or simpler. very easy to understand

This video is a good example Not sure why people have put thumbs down on this

Best explanatin; i remember my 1995 bmw 318 tds is checked like that,as per the factory manual.

EXCELLENT video. Informative and no bullsh!t. Thank you :-)

The best simple explanation on the internet thanks for sharing with as

Good informative video thanks for uploading , none of this 20 minutes face time before you even see a spanner

Excellent presentation!

Excellent video, very clear and informative. Thank you

Thank you thank you thank you! Great video

This was a very good video! Good camera/good explanations - straight forward to the point! Thank you very much Oskars! Roar.

Great video: the free-play measurement method & the old vs new was really very helpful! Many thanks my friend.

Thank you, I was wondering about that.

Thank you for this great video! Amazing how there can be a perfect video explaining exactly what you need to know. 👍🏻😊

thanks for the video. i was going to buy a new dual mass flywheel but now i see my own is good.

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.

Roar Oskars. Good info, since I have problems with the DMF on my 1990 ZR-1. Mechanics recommend changing it to a solid?

Thanks, you explained it well.

Thanks for a informative video, A great way to test once off the car.

Deserves more views!

Thank you so much for this video 👍

Thank you

Good one thanks!

Very good informacion for BMW cars

Thank you very helpful video 👍

DMF bad, SMF good.. that's all you need to know. Replaced mine with a Southbend stage 2 endurance smf clutch kit.

Perfect!!!!!!.Subscribed

Good explanation. Very clear.

fantastic video. Thanks for the upload.

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.

thanks for showing us that.

Really appreciate your video thank you so much....

Thanks for the video. You deserve more views !!

This real example video Thank you

Thank you maestro.

great video, thanks 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.

DMFs suck. I can't wait to get rid of mine

Good effort.

Great video...Very helpful.

Nice one

good video man. good info.

Congratulations already subscribed here.

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?

Good one Oskars!

Great work

Thank you, I have exact same flywheel

very informative thanks!

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.

thank you!

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

Thank you for the video. Is the tolerance problem maintainable?

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

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?

Good information! 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

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

Brilliant, thankyou

Paldies, man gandrīz ir noņemts Dual mass spararats no Renault Traffic 1.6L 2017 gads, jau bojāts, smieklīgs ražotājs.

Thanks bro, good video.

Спасибо, почти снял двухмассовый маховик с Renault Traffic 1.6L 2017 года выпуска, уже повреждённый, смешного производителя.

nice one mate

Hi Oskar hope you ate fine, can I ask where about your garage please really nice video, or garage name

Jeez wear did you get that pilot bearing them? Mine went bad in my flywheel... thinking of calling the dealer

Very good

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

Next soon video 😎👍Laiks iet .

Hello! What was the mileage on the car when the flywheel was in this condition?

verry good video :)

If you had enough reason to take it all the way out, might as well replace it.

Thank you Oscars.

Can you make a video with the dsg 7 (dq 200) flywheel?

I changed my mercedes flywhell but it can't start anymore

hi all , i got land rover discovery td5 and got very heavy clucth and some shaking at clucth pedal , is it dmf failure ?

Thankyou

Thanks, I almost have the Dual mass flywheel removed from Renault Traffic 1.6L year 2017, already damaged, ridiculous manufacturer.
