Well..... it came back from the garage with a new clutch and flywheel and a pocket/wallet a lot lighter 🥴 The spring was replaced and the leaking fuel was sorted. It drives better but the rumbling noise is still present at the back, very loud at speeds of around 50,60,70 in 5th and 6th gears. The mechanic suggested its the haldex unit and that it wouldn't be worth doing 😬 🙁

Hey folks, hope y'all are well and you survived the BS zombie apocalypse we've been subjected to over the last few years 😁 Just an update..... I still have the car, what can I say? I love it 🤣👍 It is currently (and finally) getting the clutch and DMF replaced 😁 I mentioned the grumbling noise from the back and the garage will investigate it properly when they're working on it. Also have a leaking fuel cooler (which I didn't know was on the car 🤣) and a broken spring which is being done. Lot of work in the garage. The car has passed 200k miles and will hopefully give me another 200k 😁👌 Will let you know about grumble noise 👍

Hello everyone, I have booked my car into getting the DMF and clutch changed over in a couple of weeks. The garage asked if I am providing my own parts or would I like them to provide, I stated them to provide however in some way I would prefer to shop around and see if I can get the parts on a better deal eg. EuroCarParts blackfriday deal or some such. My query is, how do I find out the particular clutch and DMF that my car needs? ECP states there are two different types for my car. DMF coming in at either 240mm or 287 mm. When I took it to a different garage to query what I now know is the DMF failing they said they wouldn't know until they open her up. Is that the case or is it marked somewhere first? I am also interested because I need the car and wouldn't like the garage to take longer than is neccesary eg, open her up, order parts, fit parts and all of this taking longer than a day. This garage isn't particularly local and is quite a trek to get to especially given my personal circumstances just now however they are half price of competitors and are very friendly/have a nice atmosphere. They are also customers to the business I work for I have have never felt they may rip me off. I have checked through the owners manual but can't see any information. Edit: I have the 1.9tdi 2007 4x4 with 6speed box
