jimmy_neutron Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Does anyone know if the dual mass flywheel which was standard on a TD5 will fit onto a 200tdi without any great problems ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally V8 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I'm struggling to think of any possible reason why anyone would want to use that rubbish on a decent engine like a TDI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk's Toys Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 i'm thinking same as above about why u'd want to, but in short i suspect you'd find it'd kill a 200tdi cuz its has the wrong torque patterns for a dual mass. Let me know if u do fit it what its like, be interesting to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I also doubt it would fit. TD5 uses a larger clutch and has different splines, its also a completely different engine from a different family, so i really cant see it having the same bolt pattern on the end of the crankshaft. There must be a reason your wanting to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 they cause problems on Td5's as the dual mass flywheel cracks, so it would be a backward step even if it did fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy_neutron Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanx all.... I'm still building up my short R380. I have finished the gearbox and i'm just on with making the bell housing but time has been limited recently. I did replace my transfer box last week though for a one with 1.2 ratio which was a good step and the 200tdi handles it well. Logically i should of waited till i fitted the new gearbox but my transfer box was giving out some weird noises and bad vibrations. I still have some vibration which i think is layshaft rattle, which is part of the reason for building the short R380. But .. yesterday morning i was reading that it was common for the old flywheels to create/transmit vibration along the drivetrain. It was said that the dual mass flywheel solved this problem. I also can't see how this can be especially as they said the problem was worse at about 50mph... Anyway .. My thought was, if it helps with vibration and the box is off anyway, and if it fits, then it may be worth a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
