Don't worry this videos show the design of the flywheel. This is a brand new unit and as you can see the rattle is perfectly normal. This flywheel is designed to move freely as a dual mass to reduce vibrations but then lock out when subject to a high amount of torque making it almost like a solid flywheel."

"DQ500 Flywheel Rattle Brand New #DQ500 #TransporterT6 #Flywheel #Rattle We have had multiple customers report a flywheel rattle on the DQ500 gearbox even after replacing them for brand new units. Don't worry this videos show the design of the flywheel. This is a brand new unit and as you can see the rattle is perfectly normal. This flywheel is designed to move freely as a dual mass to reduce vibrations but then lock out when subject to a high amount of torque making it almost like a solid flywheel."
