Consumer Description

THE DMF FLYWHEEL ON 2006 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI COMES APART. MINE SEPARATED AND WAS SCRAPING SO I STOPPED DRIVING IT UNTIL I RECEIVED THE NEW FLYWHEEL AND CLUTCH. IT STARTED WITH A SCRAPING SOUND THAT HAPPENED MORE FREQUENT EVERYDAY AND A LITTLE LOUDER. AFTER 5 DAYS I REALIZED IT WAS COMING FROM THE FLYWHEEL. THERE ARE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THESE I HAVE FOUND ON FREDS TDI PAGE. MOST WERE FROM A DIFFERENT FLYWHEEL MANUFACTURER AND I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE MINE WAS MADE BY SACHS THESE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO A VEHICLE IF IT BREAKS APART. THIS CAR SEEMS REALLY WELL MADE AND IS ALOT OF FUN TO DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN REAL HAPPY WITH IT BUT THINK THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AND COULD BE DANGEROUS. *TR
