Tomorrow I'm having transmission opened for clutch replacement. I'm very concerned about DMF, but my car came with no detailed history (3 owners, 2 plate chenges, import from Gemany to Italy and so on...). Is there a way to know if the flywheel on my C4 is still the original one, or if it has been upgraded do a LUK or if it's still a Fraudenberg but replaced recently? In an old post (I didn't find it by searching but I remember it) someone talked about bolted vs welded starter gear. Is it true? If I've got a Fraudenberg, has it got a serial number, or something similar to be compared with VIN to check if flywheel came with the car or was later replaced?

Sorry for posting again about a topic which has been discussed thousands of times, but I'm having a 1600Euros job most of which are for engine drop time, I don't even want to think I may hear a clunking noise as soon as I exit my mechanic's garage!! --&gt; <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" /> --&gt; <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> --&gt; <img src="graemlins/drink.gif" border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" />

Thanks all

Emanuele, the flywheel will be stamped Freudenburg or LUK, while the clutch is out, look for the identification on the flywheel.

I don't remember whether the starter ring is welded on either one of them...but I do remember someone mentioning that.

I replaced my dual mass POS the second day I owned the car...had a "Cup" lightweight clutch/flywheel setup waiting on the workbench.

Your mechanic should be able to identify which unit is installed as well...or he shouldn't be working on your car!!! <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />

The LUK has the welded on starter ring. The part number ends -02 as well. It should also say LUK somewhere,
