VW Dual-Mass Flywheel - Valeo 03L105266CA

A dual-mass flywheel serves as a rotating mechanical device that stores rotational energy as it helps maintain engine rotation in between ignition cycles while also providing a friction surface for the clutch disc and a mounting point for the pressure plate. The Dual-mass flywheel has an inner mass and an outer mass which serve two different functions. The inner mass is synced to the engine's inertia while the outer mass is synced to the transmission's inertia. Internal to the flywheel are springs which act as a damping system and are designed to reduce drivetrain vibrations and allow for smoother clutch operation.

With that said, with age and mileage, a dual-mass flywheel can wear out and develop an issue with the damping system which can cause severe vibrations. If you're experiencing extreme drivetrain vibrations, you may need a new dual-mass flywheel and we also recommend replacing it with every clutch service to prevent future failure.

The Valeo Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) helps filter out dynamic vibrations between the engine and the gearbox. Valeo combines advanced OEM engineering and innovative design to offer a superior product trusted by major vehicle manufacturers and automotive aftermarket industry professionals worldwide.
