Nicoleturner Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Hello im new to the forum and a proud owner (3weeks) of a facelift mondeo 2010 with only 51000 on the clock. I've just had an oil leak diagnosed as a crankcase seal which is being changed under a warranty from the dealer at my local garage. This is £400 bill they are covering as they are having to remove the gearbox etc to change the seal. However the garage recommend me changing the clutch while the gearbox is off to save on labour in future. Costing £170 quoted. My question is does my car have a dual mass flywheel and should I ask for a price to change that as well or will it be ok if I just change the clutch? What is the lifetime of a dual mass flywheel. Should I get it done with the clutch of not too expensive. The clutch and dmf would me at my cost as it's just advised? Any advice would be appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezwez Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 ive heard that clutch and dual mass flywheel. can cost £800 to £1000 with labour so its a no brainer realy ask to see old parts if you have it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicoleturner Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 The car is booked in for Wednesday and I asked about the dmf the garage said that they will assess it when they remove the clutch and let me know if they think it needs changing as it can be an expensive part. So I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
