dual mass flywheel

Lexus replaced mine and clutch under warranty at 45k and now cured

at 60k your plugs should have got changed mate!take it back and ask why they didn't as thats part of the service.

as above its the fly wheel mate very expensive unless you can find a bargin on eBay.

or you can just live with it like so many other 200 owners.

there was a flywheel for sale on eBay for 40 pound. so just keep you eye out and buy it and then when you get your clutch replaced get it changed then.

When this subject has come up before, people here have normally said that judder when pulling away basically a characteristic of the car, due to the dual-mass flywheel (e.g. see this thread). Surely replacing the flywheel isn't going to make a lot of difference to it ?

I'm really glad I found this thread. I thought there was something wrong with my car! LOL

Possibly my driving is to blame instead

i was one of the people who challenged this 'so called fact'....luckily mine was under warranty....it was replaced 10k ago and the problem has gone..

factory fault = YES.....characteristic = NO

flywheel is the issue......

mine use to judder before i got it supercharged.

same problem with mine.got a jun lightweight flywheel from prolex.more responsive to throttle low down the revs .its not so lazy when start -stopping around town.think it was half the price of a lexus dual mass.

[wildybeast]

just to add when i was having probs i did a little searching and found that you could have the flywheel welded and rebalanced . :o

[Steviewevie]

Hmm, very interesting. Do you find any downsides to your lightweight flywheel, wildybeast ?

[wildybeast]

none at all.once youve got used to it.but doesnt take long.it makes the engine pick up quicker from a stand still or rolling out of a junction.love it. :D

[wildybeast]

as mentioned earlier.i was told that the origional flywheel could possibly be welded/skimmed/and rebalanced.i never went any further with it but i still have it in me shed if anyone wants it .would have to collect though cos its bloody heavy.
