Thanks for the link. It should be titled Gearbox oil (3 of 4 pages)!
Anybody risked changing the clutch and leaving the DMF?

How many miles you got on it? And if you enjoy doing that over again, I would change it (dmf) at the same time. It could trash out your new parts if DMF let lose. AsK James Martin about that part. But my thinking is do it once, do it right

Change the lot, a DMF costs less than the labour to disassemble the whole system again

Change it and stop being tight. You will be ****ed off if you break down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere and freezing cold in a years time because your dmf has exploded with no warning and taken out your gearbox at the same time.
Then you will need a new clutch too... Pretty pointless if you ask me

You n me both mate.
I have done plenty of conversions on 1.9 tdi skoda octavia's when I was working on a local taxi firms cabs. They didn't have any issues and cabbies ain't the most delicate of types!

Gonna bring this little thread back to life!
My TD4 has developed a knock when I depress the clutch pedal which I can both hear and feel through the pedal. It seems to be at the same rate as the revs. Also sounds like I've got 2 diesel engines under the bonnet...
From what I have read on this forum and on others, sounds like my DMF is about to be KIA. Would I be right in thinking this?
With parts and labour, am I looking at about £700-£800?
