13 Reg 2.0tdi - flywheel given up?
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2017 9:57 pm
Hi,
A few days ago, my 13 reg 2.0TDI started making dull knocking sounds when the clutch was up, centred around 1300 revs. Apart from this, went fine. Took it for a 1 mile run earlier today, and just arriving back home, the noise stopped, then turned into a random (louder) knocking - like a small stone loose in the gearbox/transmission that occasionally got tossed about. It's gone 65k miles, and got full VW service history.
Doesn't sound good to me - and possibly like the dreaded DMF, but I'm also not very clued up, so that may be completely wrong!
Seems pretty poor to me that it's happened though
So dilemma is, do I
a) take it to local, trusted, indie garage to fix, or
b) get VW breakdown to take it to my local VW garage which is 15 miles away
Am I likely to get any goodwill toward this - it's over 4 1/2 years old? Or will it be viewed as a "wear and tear"? And if VW come up with some massive estimate for a fix, will I end up with a big problem/bill getting it back 15 miles to be done by my local garage.
Any thoughts/suggestions welcome!!!
