This is a quick video of a failing dual mass flywheel on a Volkswagen TDI. This noise coming from the engine and transmission area can be a big issue. I have DMF come totally apart and ruin a transmission too.

Should You Do Side Work as a Mechanic? Side work can be a great way to earn some extra money. There are a lot of mechanics that will do side work for cash, but is it worth it? Can you get fired for side work? What happens if a side work job goes wrong? I didn't do much side work as a dealer tech, often the risks were not worth the reward

The VR6t build is coming along. We are at the point where I am finding a lot of things I never planned for. Things like tapping a boost signal, fitment issues with a "turbo kit" and delays in parts or tools.
