Would a knackered flywheel cause the engine to sound rough on idle any help please.

I think that would be a symptom alright. Roto's the man to give you more details.

Best of luck,

hi there

im new to the superb

but im very familiar with the dmf,spend time and check everything out thoroughly.

as an ex mercedes tech i have fitted numerous units to car and lgv alike, they will cause horrible noises and vibrations at idle and can almost disappear as its reved up, long and short of it is the radial springs either break or suffer through overheating/riding the clutch, and the special grease that is packed between the springs either side of both halves of the dmf leaches out, play , noise, then the symptoms begin.

i have known people to condemn an engine for this !

useless piece of info, long standing volvo customers left in there droves when the 850's came out due to early catastrophic failures , and we had to retro fit the conventional three piece clutch and flywheel.
