Can anyone give me a hand tracking the right part numbers..... Vauxhall want a ridonkulous amount of money (even a friendly andy can only manage around £940 )
58 plate Corsa SXi A/C CDTi (66kW manual (not semi auto) ) , needs a new clutch, and may as well have the dual mass as well .... trying to find the right parts so i can buy them and have the local garage fit them.....
(their price for the parts is not far off vauxhall's ...(around £820) but I know damn well you can get an LUK kit for £400-500
**Vee Kay five eight foxtrot foxtrot charlie** is the reg.
thanks in advance .....
(yes I should have remembered to ask andy for the part numbers..... dang it )

PS, it's the wife's car.....
-
Why go for a new flywheel too?
Unless it`s giving you grief then it`s probably just a waste of money as it isn`t a common failing part on most cars.
-
because it IS a common failing part in dual mass flywheels
Says man with experience in having them replaced on his Jags
:(
that said..... the damn corsa is actually seeming to be MORE expensive than either of my Jags were
-
I`ve never had one fail yet, Omega had 136k, Carlton GSi had 156k and then went another 103K in my Senator when I converted it to manual.
Maybe I`ve been lucky but I don`t think I`ve heard of one fail on here or on ABS and I don`t know anyone who has had one fail either.
-
never had a manual Mig, but i'm bloody sure the Sennie, and Carlton were single mass. and there's break all to go wrong on those....
(and I trump you for mileage on them as well..... My Sennie's all cracked past 200k in my ownership, all 4 of them. Only had the carlton for about 75k , (2.2cd, just before my first 3.0 sennie, in the late 80's )

24v Carltons and Senators were dual mass flywheels weighing around 16Kg ;)
Oh...and my Senator had 351k when I retired it :P just that the manual box was only on for the last 100k ;D

There is a genuine DMF here:

Part number 55565842 (LUK part number equivalent of 622 3146 09) which appears to be the right one (what was the Vx part number quoted?).
Then LUK clutch kit (with slave):

Again, appears to be correct (worth checking!)

DMFs, particularly on common rail diesels, do seem to be a regular service part nowadays. In fact its normally a failing DMF that is the most common reason for a new clutch on these...

I think petrol DMF's take less of a hammering but the Omega drift boys in Ireland tend to manage to wreck V6 ones, I've sent several DMF's over there

Most modern stuff needs subframe out first to access gearbox :-X

.
A great price and deal , thanks ... slightly impractical for me though , I'm in south Oxfordshire and don't fancy trying to get the car to Huntingdon:( nor can I take the time off work at present , so I need to get the local garage in our villGe to do it , to be fair they've quoted 5-6 hours at £50 an hour inc VAT , plus parts .
I've got LUK clutch kit inc Csc on its way for just under £200 , still trying to confirm I've got the right flywheel on order , found a great price for one on Amazon , £175 + £5,20 for flywheel bolt set , but it's still not despatched and I've not had response from supplier ,
