Dual mass flywheel?

Post by keeperjim »

Hello all, as I've stated in a previous post my 2000 6n2 GTI has a very odd knocking noise from the front o/s that started, then left and has now come back with a vengance, I've had it in the garage and they can't find anything wrong because as usual it won't make the noise when they test it!

But from my description of the symptoms the mechanic seemed to think perhaps it was the flywheel bearings. He told me that the car has a dual mass flywheel and that it would cost near enough £1000 to replace the whiole shooting match!

Now i'm not convinced it's anything to do with the clutch as it pulls fine in all gears, doesn't slip, and changes fine.

But what I am wondering is does the 6n2 GTI have a dual mass flywheel or not?

cheers

Jim
