DMF Vs SMF

[cameron1]

Unfortunately the clutch pressure plate has gone on my 2011 S40 1.6D. Planning on replacing the flywheel as well.

what are your thoughts on replacing the dmf for a solid mass flywheel ?

Thanks

I think its a good idea if you are doing track days, but for day to day I would just keep the SMF

Don't do it on a diesel unless you want to go full tractor mode and shorten the life of the clutch and box.

I think Dom means, keep the DMF and only get SMF if you want to use it for track days. ^^

Can't see the 1.6D being much of a track car myself though :P

I am planning on replacing the clutch/flywheel myself. Is it a relatively easy job to do?

Has anyone replaced the clutch/flywheel on their S40 1.6D, any tips will be highly appreciated Thanks

Won't be as easy as say - changing a fuel filter haha...

Could be done on the driveway but screw that for a bag of smashed crabs!
You may need a special pre-tensioning tool for the clutch but I am not certain with your engine/box config.
