Rav4 Flywheel

[lewis201170]

Reading in the forums and on other web sites I have come across a number of ppl that have had problems with the dual mass fly wheel on the Avensis and the Rav4. Most ppl have had to pay approx £1800 to have a replacement because Toyota won't acknowledge that its a design fault..... My circumstance I feel is slightly different, I recently had a new clutch fitted by toyota, and now my Flywheel has also gone some 3 months later. I am not mechanically minded but surely this can't happen. Can anyone tell me if I am right in thinking that if the clutch is replaced at the same time they should of noticed the flywheel was on it's way out.

Please help... I can't afford £1800 I am being made redundant on Monday.

a dual mass flywheel should have been tested , if it has gone theres a bout 5 6 mm off play side to side in them!!! once its gone ittll snap the clutch straight away in work we sell luk clutches and dual mass flywheels and they cost about 700 pound but ud have to find somewhere to fit it
