Owner reviews for flywheel

I have not personally tried them myself, but have read that they are good OEM flywheels.

You can buy a brand new Sachs flywheel from rockauto.com for $50. I recommend a Genuine Sachs Cultch Superset (Sachs factory packaged clutch set).

The flywheel is light, extremely light. Engine braking offers the best engine braking in any car I have driven.

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.

If you want to resurface the flywheel too while you are at it check out what themagellan did to keep it from spinning - good tip.

I have a custom lightweight flywheel that was made from a Spec single mass flywheel... It does rattle, but not so bad that it's annoying. It revvs very fast compared to a regular flywheel... I must say that the 11lb fly' does make throttle response pretty quick and once used to it, it's a joy to drive.

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.

Apparently it's the flywheel and there's an updated part from VW. As you guys mentioned the 'hoot'/shriek/creak/grind happens when there's load, ie. having more than one passenger, going uphill, reversing, etc..

I went with the LUK clutch and Luk dual mass Flywheel and i have experienced a ton of problems with the fly wheel ever since this process has began and I am about to have to go with an OEM part.

My starter was definitely messed up but so are the teeth on the SPEC steel flywheel.
