Transmission problem
2004 Volkswagen TDI Two Wheel Drive Manual 51000 miles
Hi Guys, I have a VW LT35 Luton Van. I was driving the van one day and was changing gears as you do. When I changed it to 4th gear from 3rd, I found that the van did not pick up speed but heard the van revving instead. The next day it had the same affect on all the gears. When I asked a mechanic he said that the clutch needs investigating. So I took it to a garage the next morning and they quoted me £460 inclusive of all to replace the clutch etc to a new one. By the afternoon they called to say that my Duel Mass Flywheel is completely burnt out and wanted to charge me an extra £500 to also replace it...I want to know if they are just wanting for me to spend more money than I really need to. Is there any possibility that they could be lying and that all the problem is just the clutch and not the Duel Mass Flywheel aswell.
