Sprinter Mechanics , ive bought a 311 cdi that apprently lost power ,and conked out on the motorway , ive pulled the engine out and see the Dual mass Flywheel has been nibbling the back of the bolts on the rear of the block , do the flywheels give problems ,how do you get them off ???
Anyone keep parts for these ??

 

should be 8 bolts in the middle of the flywheel to remove it, if i remember the crankshaft sensor picks up off the flywheel so if the duel mass is fooked it wont get a proper reading

 

bit off thread but did you work for bells trucks?

 

Looks like the dual mass has dropped away from the sensor then ,cant even get to the ring of bolts tho !

 

No mate, buy plenty parts from them though

 

you should be able to move the centre of the duel mass around until you see the bolts, if its that fooked it would have been rattling like hell when the van was running

Just move the centre around until the bolts line up with the holes on the top

 

if it like the transit ones you will have to force the secondary mass of the flywheel round so you can see the bolts. sounds like it has spun round against its other half and locked. may have to hammer the shit out of it to get it to spin back.

 

Thanks Guys ,explains its lack of power,conking out and horrible noises then !

 

ps
Euro car parts are the cheapest for these

 

Had sheared the flywheels centre hub and rubbed the top of the sensor , all sorted now tho .

 

cool
