I booked my 3 month old 08 Fabia 1.9 Tdi into a Skoda garage recently as I was unhappy about the vibrations that could be felt transmitted via the clutch pedal. After the techies had tried and inspected the car they said the vibrations could be caused by a faulty dual mass flywheel and advised I should have the car booked in for a thorough investigation. My instant reaction was "Oh no, not another dreaded dmf problem, and after only 4000 miles!". Eventually , when they had removed the gearbox they were surprised to find that my Fabia was fitted with a single mass (solid) flywheel.:confused: Although they were surprised at their discovery they did add that they had found a single mass flywheel in a Roomster 1.9 Tdi earlier in the year. My understanding is that all fabias (and perhaps Roomsters) 1.9 Tdi engines are fitted with dual mass flywheels. Can anyone confirm if single mass ones are fitted as standard in the New fabia and Roomster 1.9 Tdi ranges? Anyway, to cut a long story short, the garage say they have replaced the flywheel and clutch assembly for a replacement single mass assembly because they say they found distortion in the clutch cover. The net result is that now I have the car back I cannot perceive any difference in performance...... the vibrations are exactly as before I would certainly like to know what your views are on this single mass flywheel discovery though.
