Hi,

I am in need of a new clutch and flywheel as mine has disintegrated.

Does anyone have experience with SMF conversion?

Also does anyone know the part numbers?

2009 2.0 TDI FR facelift CEGA engine code

Thanks

If it is coming from around the gearbox area it could be the clutch side crank shaft oil seal.

Could effect any, although some are worse than others. It was a practical death sentence for some Fords.

If it's simply a road car I'd stick with the DMF personally, lots of people moan about how the SMF feels on the clutch pedal anyway so I don't see it's worth it.

SMF do have their drawbacks, can cause bad engine wear on some engines as it doesn't absorb some of the engine vibrations like the DMF will.

Especially is silly people try to use a non-sprung friction plate designed for DMFs with a solid flywheel. It's been known to happen!
