M59 Berlingo 2.0Hdi Flywheel

[snaprails]

One of the "advisories" from the garage after a recent service was "Dual Mass Flywheel noisy at start-up".
A bit of searching here suggests the Berlingo doesn't have a DMF. Can anyone confirm this definitively? Are they, in other words, talking bollocks?

Cant say 110% but I think they're talking bollocks. I'll check definatively tomorrow if I get time.If it was a dmf and on its way out i'm fairly sure it wouldn't only be noisy on start up. Normally they clatter all the time like you've suddenly got another diesel under the bonnet.

DMF wasn't fitted to the M59 2.0.

I'd use a different garage next time

Thanks, I shall certainly be looking elsewhere in future.
Checkatrade ratings appear to be no guide to competence alas :-(

Unfortunately, unless you get a recommend from someone you trust, it is pot luck.

If you find a good one, then hang on to them and don't let go !!

Hmmm.....if that's the case then why are there so many of them advertised here?

Looks like the 1.6HDi 2005 on has them.

Not listed for the 2.0l HDi though.

AARRRRGGGGHHHH....It means I got one :eek::eek::censored:

Worst case scenario, I believe that there are complete kits available vis. Flywheel and Complete Clutch assembly to do away with and replace the blessed dual-mass flywheel....

If it does have a DMF I would be wary of replacing it with a single solid flywheel. I know DMF's are a PITA but replacing them with singles often results in pain.
I know of VW's and Fords that have been converted from DMF's and they're a rougher ride.
Just bear in mind that when / if you do change it you'll probably never have to again! :brickwall:
