    Folks got a new dual mass flywheel and clutch about 18 months ago, I think it might be gone again. Reasonable to expect it to be covered? 2010 Focus tdi

    What mileage has it done since being fitted.

    1 year would be the norm. Even genuine Ford parts only have a 1 year warranty.

    I think that may be changed now to 24 months in the last two tears or so by EU legislation.

    It's 15 months and 14,000 km since the flywheel & clutch were replaced.

    Symptoms are a kind of loose knocking noise on start-up and shutdown (but while running seems ok).

    I've been told this is a normal diesel engine sound, and not the flywheel starting to go again. It's more the kind of sound I'd expect from a small tractor starting up.

    I've haven't been driving a diesel regularly lately so maybe I'm unused to expected sounds.
