Hi all

My wife has an Audi A3, with the as-yet bomb proof TDi 100 engine in it. It's on 136k.

I think it is starting to show the early signs of Dual Mass FLywheel failure (sporadic attempts to stall itself and vibration when holding the clutch 1/4 way down at idle).

I have experience of Valeo clutches and have heard nothing but good things about them, both from forums and from mechanics. So, they seem to offer conversions to Single Mass Flywheels with new clutch kits. Has anyone had this done? Is there an effect on the car? I've heard there may be a vibrating pedal at idle, but I have little or no real-world experience to draw from.

So, PistonHeads, I invite your opinions. smile

Cheers folks. Had a look at valeo kit on euro car parts. Doesn't show one up for my engine code!

Does anybody know of any other reputable suppliers?

Hi Paul. The wife does really low mileage, 8k a year?

Defcon, I've no idea!
