Dual Mass Flywheel Failure on Volkswagen GTI
Problem overview
The flywheel for the 2006-2008 Volkswagen GTI is a non-conventional "Dual Mass" flywheel. It is known to make light rattling noise when the engine is cold. If the rattle doesn't go away when the engine warms, the flywheel may have failed.
If the dual mass flywheel has failed, the only solution is to replace the flywheel.
