Hi All.

My 2008 Ex RAC van is feeling like it's due a new clutch ( currently @ 160,000 miles). In the Lex Autolease paperwork it had the clutch and flywheel replaced at 67601 miles. I've been searching the forum trying to find out which flywheel these RAC vans were fitted with from the factory, without much luck. I popped into my local Ford dealer today, to hopefully get the answer there. He looked it up on his parts system and told me it would be a dual mass flywheel setup. Is this correct or were they fitted with the SMF as they were a special build order for the RAC.

He did say they do a conversion kit for the van to run the SMF and gave me all the relevant finis numbers.

So has anyone got the definite answer?

Rob.

Hi mate, the vans would have been fitted with dmf. I have changed mine to smf and had no problems to date.
Lots of members on here have different opinions, but mine is sorted and prefer it to the original.
There has been a lot written on here about the pros and cons of smf conversations. Hope this helps.

Hi.
Thanks 'Wronghole' for the reply. I will do a bit more research on here into the DMF and SMF debate. I have found the current setup in my van fine, apart from the worn issues I am currently experiencing. If I was to stick with the factory setup, am I right in thinking the flywheel should also be renewed along with the clutch kit and bearing assembly? Chap in the Ford dealers said it all should be replaced at the same time.
Bit pricey for the parts from Fords
