I would not condsider fitting a single mass flywheel. Should you 'bog down' the engine in the car by mistake a solid flywheel could cause damage to the train. Pay the few extra quid and get a proper DMF. Treat it well and you will likely see 100K out of it! |

I have seen people fitting solid flywheel to VW PD diesel engines and these never had them as standard and they have no issues other than it sounding horribley clattery as the DMF is designed to absorb vibrations to quieten things down and make for smoother running. |

We all need to agree that the DMF is smoother, easier on drive train and to original specification. Whist likely the single mass will cause no problems we are relying on people on the internet as assurance. Look, it’s like this. A single mass has a single advantage, price. And in this instance the price of the single mass is censiderable and possibly the same as the dmf in the first place! It offers nothing. |

The single mass Dai has sent a link to is about 9kg lighter than the original solid flywheel and is designed to work with the 850R clutch to hold big power so it has a massive advantage over the DMF.
I thought I would do some more research about this specifically revolving around the m90 gearbox. I have found that some people get a rattle in neutral with the clutch not pressed due to the gearbox design. One person said they didn't get this with the ttv flywheel fitted, they fitted one to another 940 and they got it. If you are going for more than 200hp it seems the DMF can't cope and starts to rattle. |

They smooth things out, no doubt. But they are all 20+ years old now, a bit clackity, and not really suitable when aiming for more power. A constipated snail's turd moves quicker than a DMF revs as well. Easier on drive train? No. Quote:

If you're just after a ttv single mass flywheel i have one that i only ran for ~1000 miles.
They do cause some 'gear clatter' in neutral and it is easier to stall at low speeds, just need to change your driving style a bit in carparks etc - downside They actually weigh considerably less that a small moon (unlike dmf) and so allow the b230 to actually rev - upside They are also basically a must if you are looking to go over ~200bhp as the stock dmf doesnt like it - mine was hittting it's limit hence the single mass swap. My 940 was then swapped back to near stock to be sold as i'm working on a 960 t6 project atm and needed my much loved 940 out the way... (just in case you were curious why i only ran it for a short while then swapped it out. I really liked it when it was fitted and the chatter was my only complaint as i have very low tolerance for noises i find annoying - pasengers didn't seem to notice) If you are intersted pm me PP |

I'd say closest description is when you get a pebble in your tire tread and drive through a town at ~30. It's the click-click-click noise.
Much louder in the car than outside of it, which is strange, and is only at tickover in neutral. 900+rpm and it goes, pressure on the clutch pedal and it goes. None of my pasengers were bothered by it, but i have low noise tolerance so it annoyed me. Btw it also made the same sound with a failed dmf. |
