Mk8 2015 Ford Transit Luton with Taillift

[Iancrowle]

Hi Everyone i am new to this Transit Forum, I hope someone can give me advice. In November 2018 my clutch failed on my van. My van was recovered to a local garage and a new dmf and clutch was fitted at a cost of £1900.00. In January 2019 after the van had done 1000 miles the van would not engage any gears. so in January 2019 they fitted a new clutch again as the one fitted was faulty.Now my van shakes and vibrates at 50mph to 62mph been told dmf has gone. Do these things have a guarantee? i have only done 1600 miles since clutch fitted. But garage is refusing to replace it. I have dmf and clutches replaced before on other vehicles but they have all lasted 100k + i do not tear about or use clutch pedal as a foot rest. Thanks for your help in advance Ian

It’s not just run out on a tyre is it?

Hi Stuart
No had new front tyres fitted yesterday and all 4 wheels balanced still got really bad shaking vibration.
Its annoying as other than that it drives really well

Nightmare, I’ve just had the engine out of mine and fitted a new clutch and dmf. I’ll be hoping to get more than 1600 miles out of it.

I got a new LUK dmf off eBay for about £100. Not sure what the labour would be to fit, not really the point when it’s obvious premature failure I suppose

You are being ripped off big time Bring it to another garage and ask the to check the driveshaft alignment posting.php?mode=reply&f=64&t=193452# Then produce this document and scare the skit out of the chancers

I’ve had to rebuild the engine twice in 12 months due to cracked pistons and 6 new injectors at £180 a pop mate

Got it back on the road a couple of days ago and the abs,tcs and airbags lights all came on which ended up being a cracked toner ring on the back hub, fixed that today so fingers crossed

Had loads of luck but most of it bad!

This is the link to the dmf I bought, if you send him the vehicle reg he checks it’s the right one for your van

I’ve no idea how much but can’t see the labour being massive to drop the gearbox and fit this when doing it on a ramp. Clutch should be ok to reuse. Good luck mate

https://www.ebay.ie/itm/273803514852 £300 should go along way towards fitting depending where you are located

Are there any issues with fitting a solid flywheel? That’s a good price
