The dual-mass flywheel costs roughly €400-900 for the part alone; replaced together with the clutch, the complete job generally falls between €900 and €1,800. Labour is the same as for the clutch, because the gearbox has to come off anyway.

When it really needs replacing

• Angular play beyond tolerance measured with a specific tool
• Excessive rocking
• Traces of expelled grease or signs of overheating
• Metallic noise at idle that disappears when the clutch is pressed

Why it is assessed together with the clutch

The dominant cost is removing the gearbox. With the gearbox off, the check takes a few minutes; postponing means redoing the whole job if the flywheel fails shortly afterwards.

Conversion to single-mass

Conversion kits to a single-mass flywheel exist for some models, cheaper and more robust, but they transmit more vibration into the cabin and can strain the gearbox. It is a sensible choice on work vehicles, less so on a car used for long journeys.

The figures given are indicative market ranges, useful as a guide: the actual cost depends on model, engine, chosen parts and labour hours. An exact quote requires the vehicle registration.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the dual-mass flywheel cost?

Roughly €400-900 for the part; together with the clutch the complete job falls between €900 and €1,800.

Can a single-mass flywheel be fitted instead of the dual-mass?

Conversion kits exist for some models: they cost less but increase noise and vibration. It must be assessed case by case.

How do I know if the dual-mass flywheel needs changing?

From the metallic noise at idle that disappears when the clutch is pressed and from measuring the angular play with a specific tool.
