Been speaking to several places including dealerships regarding ongoing issues and each one has said I don't have a dmf just an smf in my Fabia 1.9 tdi pd 105 can anyone confirm this.

From the factory they are fitted with a DMF so unless it's been fitted with an SMF at some point then it should still have a DMF.

So why are Skoda telling me its an SMF this is 4 different dealerships

So what have 4 different Skoda dealers told me its and SMF

No idea!

 

But I'm 100% sure all 1.9 PD105 cars came from the factory with a DMF fitted.

My first Skoda was a 1.9 pd great engine am sure it was  D-M-F be interesting if proved wrong . 

Have now rang Skoda uk head office and a large clutch parts co and they have also said its and SMF which is annoying in a way as trying to figure out and issue with the car when I tried to get repair quotes from 2 places they also said SMF

Im baffled by a problem i have if anyone can enlighten me as to what this sounds like, only happens with clutch pressed down and revved or changing up from 1st to 2nd gear heres 2 videos one is mine the other is a guy with same problem.

Was the flywheel changed as well?

2nd vids not mine so not sure just thought I would post it as exact same symptoms i haven't done anything to mine looked into dmf and clutch replacement but keep getting told I don't have a dmf and am getting concerned as to what this noise is

What's the engine code?

 

I would bet a lot of money that it has a DMF. I thought all the 1.9 PD engines had DMFs ever since they were introduced.

Engine code is a bsw 090278

Definitely had a DMF when it was built. 100%.

 

ETA - I might be wrong

Is there anyway you can show me where I can get one as Skoda says otherwise

In the sachs catalogue it lists 3000 951 708 for my car which is for cars without a DMF ??

The car will (100% no doubt about that) have been built with a DMF fitted. All diesel engines have been fitted with them since the 90s right up to ones still rolling off the production line today.

 

There is an approved SMF conversion for the 1.9 PD105 for the Octavia so I assume the same applies to the Fabia.

 

So unless yours has already had an SMF conversion within it's lifetime it will be fitted with a DMF.

 

I can't quite get my head round even Skoda UK telling you it's fitted with an SMF!

Going to a couple more places tomorrow to get it looked at as would like to get a definitive answer asap, as for skoda i dont know but it wasnt just them it was clutch specialists too it even says it in the sachs catalogue

The quickest and easiest way to check a DMF (first for the presence of and also the condition of) is to remove the starter motor and using a screwdriver (or similar) to wiggle the flywheel around. A garage shouldn't charge too much to do that.

 

But your noise on this and your previous video do sound a bit like a DMF to me but that noise would normally happen with the clutch up and disappear with it pressed. Could be the release bearing on the clutch perhaps?

Clutch specialist today says it sounds like bent clutch fingers its a difficult one do I replace it wait till it gets worse

Thing is if you wait till it gets worse it could just go bang on the motorway one day then you're stuck and potentially cause further damage.

Our 1.9PD 105 Transporter defo has a DMF
