2.2 TypeS 2015 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hi, I've owned a 2015 2.2 Type S for a couple of years now. Recently I've noticed that when the engine starts (hot or cold) it starts with a violent shudder. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Does this spec of car have the vacuum operated engine mounts, could they be faulty or is the rough start up quite normal? It seems to drive okay otherwise. At its recent service the dealer suggested sticking valves could be the cause so they put an additive in...which of course made no difference apart from to my service cost.

Trevor Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Have you considered if it is a worn Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) as this can result in a shudder on start up and extreme clunking for a short period on shutting the engine down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2.2 TypeS 2015 Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 I hadn't thought about the DMF as the car hasn't even done 40k. Is there a manufacturer recommended service interval on these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Not really just a measurement in movement on the flywheel components but you can only do this with the transmission removed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
