Is220D Flywheel Replacement

hotwheels · May 28, 2012

Any suggestions on where to find a non bank breaking flywheel replacement for my 2007 220d?

I have got a fairly priced OEM clutch kit and release bearing but the prices I hear for the Flywheels are 800GBP or 1100EURO, VAT excluded.

Cheers

I often wonder if there is any difference between the IS DMF and the Toyota one for the same engines. Guess I can't find out unless I get one and check the plate fits.

Hi chuckie,

The flywheel from BuyPartsBy comes to 767.76GBP without delivery.

I was given a quote of 500 GBP for a clutch kit, bearing and SM flywheel by Techniclutch but after searching for opinions about their service and quality of their parts in google I changed my mind and bought an original Toyota clutch and bearing without the flywheel. The mechanic listened to the car while switching on and off and he said that I might be lucky and don't need one but he wasn't sure until he takes it appart.

I was told by one of the guys at Techniclutch that the RAV4 or Avensis 2.2 d-cat flywheels won't fit the 220d but I'm not sure I can believe them after reading all this stuff about them online.

Anyway we will see on Saturday when the mechanic is going to take it appart.

500GBP sounds far too cheap. Do you mean a Single Mass Flywheel conversion? I'd be a bit reluctant to put one on.

Yep, 500GBP is for a SMF conversion.

Today I received the new clutch kit and bearing, below are the part numbers if somebody needs them.

After two months of having the TMC Motorsport tuning box bringing the power to 212 horses the clutch has gone, a proof that the kit really works :D.

So I do recommend the box but if your clutch is in bad shape and you don't want to be replacing it soon then you should better avoid it.

I can't wait to drive the car with the new clutch fitted and all the power been transfered to the wheels and not been lost in heat due to a slipping clutch.
