DMF from Euro Car Parts is ~£236.



+ bolts + clutch + slave + optional starter which will add between £240 and £400

Then labour not a trivial job on this diesel especially with the heavy 6 speed box.

If the DMF has failed, chances are it will need the starter motor. The starter often fails before the DMF so check to see if its had either! The crap from the failing DMF ruins the starter.

ECP tend to do three levels of product - very cheap, cheap and oem equiv. Personally I wouldn't touch the very cheap and cheap if its for your own car. OEM equiv should be decent, last and be at a realistic price.

OEM would have been LUK ---- I have had seen a few too many LUK clutches with the centre part of the driven plate fractured.


I only buy LUK, Delphi or Valeo parts if nothing else is available.
