Great job! and a great day to do it by the sounds of the birds tweeting and
all that sunshine!
you made it right. I have seen few of them broken apart. They usually leave
flywheel and try to escape through a bell housing by breaking it then is
expensive. Smoke and lack of power its a camshaft proble in PDuse engines
DSG after 2005,5 are pretty reliable but I would agree the stick shift is
much better especially when you change to the solid flywheel. But if you
change the oil regularly on the DSG it can go many many miles without a
problem. Just need to remember to do the 40k service.
Thanks for the info.
that timing chain job is miserable. Skull and cross bones to the VW vr6.
yuck. I would plan on replacing the engine with a rebuilt because often the
gears get sucked into the oil pump and destroy everything, Man just look
into a TDI changeout and scrap that engine!!!!
I would only use the LUK. These are another VW flawed design. I have been
working on vws for 30 years and they are a problematic car. Who could
figure they need a 2 piece design for a flywheel. The LUK is suppose to
have a heavier spring and sronger design but it is still a 2 piece so I am
crossing my fingers.
Good to hear it worked for you Lenord Likes to remove the flywheel with the
trans in the car to avoid the alignment problem. But I wanted to see what I
was doing and torque those bolts correctly.
before I changed it there was a slight rattle especially when I started and
stopped the engine. It would continue for a half a second. Kind of a clank.
But would occasionally continue at idle intermittently. I didnt want to
wait till it was really bad because it can come apart and really make a big
problem.
Thanks and the car you sold me has been great for a VW. But it is still the
problematic vw that I have known for many years. Awaiting the Chevy Cruze
to become a few years old so I can buy one used.
this is good video lots of details and advice surely will use it when doing
mine clutch.cheers mate
So wrong
The frame when you install it can move as much as 1/4 of an inch. If when
you tighten it back up, you drive the car and your steering wheel is off at
all or your car pulls either direction. you need to have the car
re-aligned. They will charge you usually 1 extra hours labor to loosen the
frame and move it to the specified area. It usually causes a caster problem
and can make your steering wheel off center. Test drive after install!!!!
what size is the tool? 12 point what??
What is your opinion of the luk dmf? I am replacing mine very soon and
would love some REAL feedback vs the usual bs from the guy who can’t repair
his own vehicle. Thanks
The twelve points are called triple squares. FYI
Awesome Video but why do you have to realign the frame? I have never had to
do this or even thought about doing this. If its completely necessary how
much does it cost?
Great video
It is not necessary to remove the sub frame bolts and the lower control
arm’s inner bolts. We perform the DSG DMF replacement without having to
completely remove/lower the transmission. The key here is to provide enough
room to allow for access to the flywheel bolts along with enough room to
remove the flywheel from between the engine and transmission separation. We
also find that removing the electric cooling fan assembly provides
additional room to swing the engine/transmission forward.
Thanks Leonard for the info. I pulled back the transmission and was going
to do as you say and remove the flywheel in the car. But it seemed like a
bit of a knuckle buster. plus I wanted to see exactly what was bad. I think
next time if I do one again I would do it with the trans pulled back right
in place.
Thank you Mike, it was useful for me.
Thanks Leonard. For those of you who are in Southern California who realize
after watching this video that this job is not for you. Leonard at Wild
Rose motors in Whittier is a great resource to have this done
Part 2: Of course, we are performing these DSG DMF flywheel R/Rs on a lift
with upper engine crane and tall trans. jack along with having performed
150+ of these model year 2005.5 – 2006 VW TDIs with engine code BRM. Mike
does a nice job here and I realize he is performing this task on jack
stands so, I can’t say for sure if our process of not removing sub frame
bolts and LCAs would be applicable. While doing this job,check to see if
there is soot coming from the EGR cooler and do rpl. it now
I just did the same job, at first did it like Leonard suggested removed the
fan but it was a battle of 2 hours that I was losing and stop with this
procedure,id mikes(also vw procedure) lower frame 3 inches, removed left
axle and trans was down in 10 minutes. no space at all. It is pro job I’m a
mini/bww tech this job is a bear.
Nice job. Was it making loud noise when running
These DSGs are not as bad as you might think. They do need fluid and filter
properly changed every 40K miles and there is a VCDS calibration process
that can be performed after each fluid/filter change which adjust wear
tolerances.
One more thing I will need to add… You will need to have your car re
aligned and the frame repositioned after install. Most alignment shops
charge extra for repositioning the frame.
Great video. Do you have any experience removing eurovan transmissions? I
need to replace the timing chains on my 2001 which requires a trams
removal…..
For those of you who are new to TDI or are looking to buy a used TDI.
Leonard at Wild Rose Motors in Whittier, knows the cars and exactly what
usually is wrong, Repairs them up to date and sells them at what I consider
a reasonable price with the services done. You may spend an extra $1000 on
your car but it could save you many more thousands because you dont know
what you are getting.
The 12 point vw set is available at most auto parts stores. Orielly has it
for I think under $10. there is a set of 4. you will need a few different
sizes. It is obvious when you get the battery box out. There are better
sets from snap-on and Mac tools if you are a pro. that have harder steel.
dsg not very reliable. better to have a manual or typical automatic
