Hi, I'm new in the A6 side but have owned a few 80's over the years!
Ok problem I have is I have a 2008 A6 Avant 2.0Tdi Ltd Edition with the 7 speed auto box with flappy paddles that has covered 118k miles it runs the 140bhp BRE engine, now over the last few months I noticed a metallic clunk on turning the engine off when warm, I was putting it down to maybe the rear gearbox mounting, however on Sunday I started the car and I had a clattering noise which was there until I revved the engine up, however when releasing the throttle it came back again, further investigation was that the clattering was coming from the rear of the engine towards the bell housing, would I be right in saying the 7speed auto runs a dmf (dual mass flywheel)? If so how hard a job is it to do?

 

Ok no replies so taking it as no body knows or wants to hazard a guess, I have bought a new DMF flywheel to fit, I spoke to an Audi mechanic from an Audi specialist who confirmed all DSG gear boxed (automatic or CVT, Continuously Variable Transmission) vehicles have a DMF flywheel and that the noise I have is more than likely the DMF flywheel, once I have the time I will lift the engine out and replace the DMF, I will try and get decent pictures and do a write up on removal and replacement of engine and the DMF including the torque figures required for bolt tightening
