[Omega man 2]

Went out to see what was wrong with my clutch. Went to undo the bolts and the whole assembly including half of the flywheel just falls off the back of the engine lol

The rivets that held on the bit that contacts the friction plate have all sheared in half  

Luckily it comes in handy to have a whole spare block floating around

But out of curiosity what the break happened? :-?

dmf failure of unusally epic proportions, bet it has been making a noise for a long time and was thought to be the thrust bearing at fault!!! so ignred!!

old man had similar on his SEAT Alhambra, thought the thrust bearing had gone and then found out the dual mass flywheel was fubar.

cost him £1k for new flywheel and clutch
