Reviews of VALEO flywheel

Just thought Id stop by and update people about this question for any1 potentially considering this option. All I have to say is that unless it's a track car, do not go with any sort of single mass flywheel conversion, especially this one. If it originally had a dmf setup then replace it with a dmf setup. At idle there is an extremely annoying slight rattle/knock unless you press the clutch pedal in (separate trans from engine). It's definitely louder with ac turned on, also when shifting in certain gears at certain speeds,when letting off the clutch pedal, you will experience some grinding due to the inability to absorb the shock and pulses.

I have the valeo smf kit and vr6 clutch on my 1.8t (different flywheel but same idea) They work fine, you just get a little more drivetrain noise and rattle at idle but no big deal. You might loose a little hwy mpg (.5-1.0) but no biggie

When I swapped in the gti 02q 6 speed, I just ordered an oem style gti FSI clutch kit with a solid fly wheel made by Valeo. I didn't opt for a lightened flywheel and really like the solid flywheel compared to the oem dual mass flywheel.

Getting back to the original topic, I just installed the 2nd Valeo single mass conversion on my GF's TDI with 205K. The car was shaking like Michael J Fox, now it's as smooth as a Miles Davis solo.

Bought this kit for my 337... after the slave cylinder went on it. Thumbs up on the kit overall, though some slight flywheel chatter... but had new poly mount inserts done on the tranny mount and dougbone mount.

I installed a Valeo kit on my brothers TDI with 280K on it. I must say that I was extremely impressed with the quality and fit. I thought the flywheel would be porous, but it was a good casting. It was a huge improvement over the shaking engine.

well got the valeo single mass flywheel conversion installed. i havent really been beating on it because i am still breaking in. it seems to be holding my k04 frankenturbo for now
