Flywheel Inspection - 1.6L EcoBoost (132kW/180PS) - Sigma

NOTE: Do not clean the dual mass flywheel with compressed air.

NOTE: Do not clean the dual mass flywheel with any kind of fluid, use a dry cloth only or damage to the dual mass flywheel may occur.

NOTE: Do not clean the gap between the primary and secondary mass. Only clean the bolt connection surface and the clutch surface or damage to the dual mass flywheel may occur.

NOTE: The dual mass flywheel cannot be machined.

With the dual mass flywheel installed on the engine, inspect the dual mass flywheel surface for scoring, cracks, discoloration or damage. Check for contamination from grease, oil or fuel. If any of these conditions exist, install a new dual mass flywheel.

NOTE: This check should be done at room temperature.

NOTE: Move the secondary mass by hand right and left several times before proceeding with the freeplay check.
Place a reference mark on the secondary mass of the dual mass flywheel.

Using light hand pressure, rotate the secondary mass clockwise to the end of the freeplay. Place a reference mark on the primary mass of the dual mass flywheel, in line with the reference mark on the secondary mass.

Using light hand pressure, rotate the secondary mass counterclockwise to the end of the freeplay. Place a second reference mark on the secondary mass of the dual mass flywheel, in line with the reference mark on the primary mass.

Measure the rotational freeplay between the 2 reference marks on the secondary mass of the dual mass flywheel. If the rotational freeplay exceeds 10 mm (0.394 in), install a new dual mass flywheel.

Inspect the dual mass flywheel ring gear. If the ring gear is damaged, install a new dual mass flywheel.

Inspect the dual mass flywheel guide pins. If the guide pins are missing or different lengths, install a new dual mass flywheel.

Inspect the transmission bell housing for traces of grease. If there is an excessive amount of grease 46.4 mm (1.83 in) from the front edge of the bell housing, install a new dual mass flywheel.
