Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) - Anyone had one replaced?

[GE90]

Nottingham dealer, it was daybrook one, its not a mount, its a feature LOL, quite a few cars do it, some people have solved it by adding a ECS dog bone mount under the car

out of interest what is you actual issue ?

182_blue - You kindly helped me with this before. I have a kind of reciprical creak/'chugg' only at the bite point. As is seems to sort of pulse, I thought that it might be the flywheel rather than a mount. Anyway, it developed into a vibration, so the dealer dropped the box and found a pressure plate spring bent. The clutch assy and bearing were replaced, and the DMF visually inspected and found OK. However, although the vibration has been rectified, the damn noise is still there! As it is quite frustrating (I use the car in traffic everyday now), I even offered to pay for the DMF while the box was out, but they naturally weren't keen.

Cheers!

Does anyone know the  tolerances(backwards and forwards rotational play) on DMF so I can check if my 24K one is ok???

Mine was opposite, they did the DMF under warranty and i paid to have a new clutch fitted at £225 all in

I paid £490 with discount from my dealer for a DMF. Was meant to be £590! 

GazbutS3 on here can buy them for around £260

my dealer charged me around £260 for the dmf. Clutch and dmf Inc fitting cost me £630 if I remember correctly

How long ago was that?  This was from Seat who seem to be good at putting prices up

Mine was replaced because my clutch was slipping and when the clutch was taken off the flywheel was in bits so had to be replaced.

Ref the noise/ feeling, If i get what you mean then mine did it before and after and 3 other gti's i've driven also do it.  I was under the impression it was normal, certainly doesn't concern me?  I read that stronger clutches often have this characteristic although the gti ones seem to be soft as butter once you throw some torque their way
