If you get to see it in person, check the tread depth on all tires, look at the brake pads, open the hood and pop off the plastic cover and see if it’s got a new engine, check coolant level ...if you have time warm it up then turn off and check oil 15 minutes level. It’s not a Porsche so you...

Dual mass clutch discs, I see why they get used.....but not a good idea overall.

why not? Its just unbolt the old and bolt in a new one, and hook the shifter back up. They will not give you the parts under warranty for a DIY. Thats not happening.

Well what happens is the dual mass disc fails, sending chunks Into the bell housing causing it to crack. If some of it gets into the flywheel teeth then yes it could lock it up causing internal damage to the tranny. On the Audi’s yes bell housings and flywheels got damaged.

Nope!

Dual mass clutch discs are known to fail. Audi’s used to have issues on them coming apart. Back when Audi had manual transmissions of course.

I had the updated plate installed. One side of it on the new one has a rubber coating to act as a damper. It’s a 25 dollar part but the tranny must come off for the install. Others just apply some dynamatt on it.

I’m surprised they even opened it up. Most times they just order a new one. Dealers these days don’t rebuild them.

It sounds like It’s your rear cylinder block plate. Once warmed up and at that rpm range it hits a resonance frequency. Yours sounds slightly different than mine did. But it’s close.

Hey now....

When your at a drive in theatre, your not supposed to be sitting.

Hi No it’s not quite flat. The instructions say to lower the pressure in the tire to about 12 psi, to shrink it some. I think if you do that (I did not) it should be flat, the cover that it. I used some left over dynamatt I had in the wheelwell and not the felt.

No luck for me I called tire rack, mr tire, tires direct, NTB, Pep Boys discount tires and others.

You can’t get the rear 305/35 r19 super sports. I called all over the place. Michelin says that they won’t have any available till December.

Get an actual spare tire, the goo and compressor are useless, unless it’s a small slow leak. I got stuck on a 101 degree day waiting for the flatbed to come get me, on a Sunday afternoon. The spare tire I just got fills up the wheel well. As for other items, I got a container from homedepot...

The spacer is really nice piece of milled aluminum. It says only to use it on the front wheel. It’s pretty thick. The kit came with lugnuts too.

Wanker or tosser? It’s a UK term by the way.

Looks like this thread has evolved into some kind of weird quasi mine is bigger than yours swag comparison.

Got it from auto authority. It’s nice, quality kit with tire and wheel, jack, spacer, lugnuts and wrench. Fits right in the trunk wheel well. I suppose I should keep the foam piece that was there, as 30 years from now at a Car show points might be deducted from a judge that says it’s not...

If it’s all metal, that’s some skills for sure.
