TechWhiz Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 My BMW 120d N47 with a manual gearbox is experiencing a lack of satisfaction when driving. The troubles I am now experiencing are as follows: excessive vibration, challenging or significant resistance while changing gears at high revolutions per minute, juddering when reversing, and high levels of vibration when the engine is idling. Can someone provide some illumination? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvesBMW Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 It seems that you may need a replacement for your clutch and dual mass flywheel (DMF). What is the current mileage of the vehicle and has the clutch undergone any previous replacements? Where precisely is the vibration occurring?

TechWhiz Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 It seems that you need a substitution for your clutch and dual mass flywheel (DMF). What is the current odometer reading of the car and has the clutch been replaced before? Where exactly is the vibration taking place?

IrvesBMW Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 The probable cause of the bearing sound is the failure of the clutch release bearing. However, if you want to repair the mentioned component, it would be advisable to have a complete set of replacement parts available. Additionally, it may be necessary to replace the clutch and dual-mass flywheel (DMF) based on the mileage of the vehicle and a thorough examination.

CyberNinja Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 It is time to replace the clutch and dual mass flywheel, as mentioned before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWhiz Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 I attended a session where they informed me that I need a replacement clutch, but they neglected to mention anything about the dual mass flywheel (DMF). When I inquired, they surmised that I may just need a clutch. May I inquire if it is necessary to repair both components simultaneously or whether it suffices to only replace the faulty clutch?

IrvesBMW Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 There is no need to replace the Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) along with the clutch. It depends on your desired activity and the condition of the item, namely whether it is worn out and showing signs of extreme wear and tear. Upon purchasing my automobile, I discovered that the previous owner had just changed the clutch but not the Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF). However, I was dissatisfied with the unpleasant noise emitted by the flywheel. Since I planned to retain the car permanently, I decided to repair the whole assembly once again. If you want to retain ownership of the automobile, it would be more efficient to complete the work once, since the labour costs would remain relatively unchanged, regardless of whether the tasks are performed separately or simultaneously. Why are you reluctant to disclose the mileage of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWhiz Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 Apologies, but my car's mileage now stands at 130,000 kilometres. The garage informed me that it may not be necessary to replace the Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
