flywheels could warp............could yes do they not really.....................those dual mass flywheels are stout, they are heavy (trust me they hurt when they fall on you) and they are thick, warping isnt so much an issue. The can get burned up and hotspoted, from poor technique and they can be damaged if the cluch fails

dealer gets screwed and the tech worked for free............ FREE.......... hes got a family to feed too

i can count on 3 fingers how many 9x6 flywheels ive replaced for dual mass problems.........ive probaly changed 30-40 for getting destroyed by poor driving technique.
Thanks for your comments.

If they told me that there was a clutch problem, I wouldn't be surprised. These cars are so much tougher than most give them credit for. I have so much fun with it, I would consider it a cost of having fun. If you're not hard on it, then I would be very interested in what they find. I can't add any more to this, so wish you the best of luck.

Theres only 2 porxche dealers in the country that pay their techs hourly, that i know of, flat rate is a win win situation you only pay your guys who work, and really they make their own check so if u have lazy employess they cost you nothing.
poor technique, slipping the clutch, riding the clucth, it gets hot its gonna cause more wear to the disc. in reality theres nothing wrong with the flywheel itself mechaniclay , but the surface is destroyed. But the friction disc is gonna be destoryed at that point so it wont be just the flywheel damaged by poor technique
In my opinion theres verly little that could make that noise and not be covered by warrenty.
Also in my opinion (I havent driven the car so i cant say for sure maybe theres something obvious to the dealer) they should just pony up and pull the trans. I would take it to another dealer
