Vibration question
« on: 13 March 2012, 19:06 »
I've got a strange vibration which i can feel through all the pedals when the car is at stand still and fully up to temperature, If i rev the engine it goes away for a short amount of time. It sounds like a helicopter taking off. I took it into the vw garage and they changed the 3 wheel pulley but it hasn't improved things. Anyone any ideas?
Also, how the hell do you turn the traffic info off on the standard vw radio. Its a 150.

Sounds very much like it could be the dual mass flywheel...

Mucho...saying that you can get a replacement OEM/or OE quality kit for £250ish, then like £200 maybe for fitting, or you could DIY? There is a semi good guide knocking about somewhere... :smiley:

Theres definitely something up down there, although quick its almost impossible to get it to wheel spin (not that i try) but i remember my 130 used to wheelspin like a  bugger. So if i were to take it to an independent what do you guys think id be looking at to do the DMF? i have a receipt for a the clutch but they didnt have the dmf done.

I hate to say it mate, BUT that is a pretty rookie, they should have recommended that you replace the DMF at the same time. As now if it is the DMF I think you have to replace the whole lot...I maybe wrong  :sad:

Not completely neccesary to change the lot, just some people would suggest..

If the clutch is fairly new then there shouldn't be any need to change that, just get a flywheel all be it expensive.

Atleast when done you can forget about it for a few years until it goes again..  :laugh:
