Hi

 

We went to look at a Fabia Monte Carlo 1.6 diesel 75 with 120K miles on it last night. There was judder pulling away in first and vibration/judder until it was unnoticeable at about 35 mph in third and upwards. The engine was nice and smooth revving in neutral. I don't know a lot about the mechanical stuff but I called a mate and he said it sounded like the dual mass flywheel "walk away".

 

We walked and we probably won't be going back but I just wondered if you all agree with the DMF diagnosis.

 

Cheers

 

Sound about right you can get them cheap enough oem €400 here in Ireland

Sounds likely

I agree, it needn't be as expensive as duel masses are normally suggested to be though. There are usually solid flywheels available for the diesel Fabia as it's the same engine as the popular 1.6 used in Octavia taxi's
