307 SW HDI Flywheel Split ?

Question

My Fathers SW has been taken off the road with just 20000 Miles on the clock. It appears that the flywheel has split. I think I'm correct in thinking that the flywheel on these cars has a damping unit on it so I guess one of the dampers had come lose or a spring has broken. Anyhow the flywheel has also destroyed the clutch and the gearbox casing which has resulted in a new gearbox being required. Peugeot are paying for all the repairs.

Is this a one off fault or is it a known about problem with these engines ?

I've got a 90bhp HDi, which is a bit "lumpy" and stuttering when idling.Could this be related to the flywheel problem ?dq

My 2.0 HDi 110 whines when slowing down in 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

Does this sound like a "known" problem ?

I`ve only had the car a few weeks - it`s done 29000 and I didn`t think much of the noise until I read this thread.

Hohum.

Yup, mine too.Dealer replaced the Gearbox under warranty.  Unfortunately I had to wait 3months for a "modified" one??
