Replacing the flywheel basically doubles the price of the job. OEM dual mass flywheels are 600-700$+.
Some shops will tell you that you can't resurface a dual mass flywheel, but it is really just a matter of finding a machine shop that has the ability to do it. |
I've only owned the car since spring, but I do have extensive service records from the original owner. I'll go get them out of the car and look to see if he ever replaced the clutch.
I'm slightly confused on this dual-mass flywheel. How do I know if I have one? The pelican parts listed two options for 318ti's one with and one without dual-mass clutches.
Also, if I replace the clutch do I need to have the flywheel resurfaced? From the walkthru I posted earlier it doesn't appear that its always mandatory.
