307 SW HDI Flywheel Split ?

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 ?

Hi,

Flywheel fails seem common on 307s, usually causing a prematurate clutch
destruction. The problem has been fixed since.
Anyway, I don't know a car manufacturer which had no problems when
introducing dual masses flywheels.

 

known problem on 2.0 Hdi 110. they changed mine after 25.000 km
i was complaining about noise when driving 10-15 km/h, they knew what was wrong...

changed, no questions asked...

 

AFAIK only Hdi 110 have problem vith flywheel.

 

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

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 3
months for a "modified" one??

 

lol, maybe that shoudl have been a hint for them, especially with all the
other faults the 307 has! Poor peugeot.

Well he is picking up his car today from what the garage were saying
its not that un-common ! Its took about 4-5 weeks to fix in total
because the clutches are in short supply.

Thanks for the info guys.
