I've heard this mentioned several times on the forum, going at around 60K and the possibility of fixing it for good with an after market single section flywheel, but just how common is it?
Also, the hdi engine was developed with Ford right? So is it the same engine in diesel Focus and Mondeos?

Surprisingly common to be honest. Dual mass flywheels are fragile at best, and usually a bloody nuisance. The reason they were developed was to dampen out vibrations caused by running an engine on oil that has the viscosity of water, which was used in an attempt to reduce losses within the engine, and hence improve fuel economy.
If you get the chance to, remove the dual mass flywheel and bin it. Fit a sensible solid flywheel, and fill the engine with a sensible viscosity oil. The fractional increase in fuel economy is irrelevant in comparison to the cost of replacing a dual mass flywheel.

This is not a signature.
Re: HDi disintigrating flywheel
As far as ive heard ,yes,but with a few small differences.If you look at the outputs and capacities they are very similar.The 1.4 tdci is also a hdi.Xac wrote: Also, the hdi engine was developed with Ford right? So is it the same engine in diesel Focus and Mondeos?

Re: HDi disintigrating flywheel
The 1.4. and 1.6 HDIs are shared with Ford, these two were new engines, developed by PSA and built by PSA. Incidentally, the Mini is getting a 1.4 HDI diesel at some point (assuming it doesn't already).Xac wrote:I've heard this mentioned several times on the forum, going at around 60K and the possibility of fixing it for good with an after market single section flywheel, but just how common is it?

The 2.0 16V HDI is an evolution of the 2.0 8v HDIs (same block) and is used in the newest Focus and newest S40 but NOT the Mondeo, the Mondeo and Jaguar X Type share a 2.0 16V engine that is Ford originated. Apparently PSA did some work on this, converting the old 2.0 TDDI into the 2.0 TDCI but Ford builds these engines.
