I use it every day, sit in traffic some of the time and do more than average miles. Basically i use it for the business.
Only reason im asking is because once i've got the clutch fitted im going to get it remaped. Will a dmf last with around 340lb ft of torque? Don't want to buy one and then have to replace it in a year. Want it to last a long time.

i have 360 lbft and dont have a problem! the car does occasionally shudder when all the torque kicks in but i dont see it being a problem! i put a new flywheel on at the same time as changing the clutch just for piece of mind although i dont really think i needed too!
as for the noise, to stop it you have to keep your foot on the clutch which weakens the release bearing, and although its a cheap part to change it still means gear box out to repair!
Yes i agree with aimez the video of the golf is a real eye opener
There is no way i could live with that clatter it sounds terrible.
another positive reason for a single mass is that you get more power to the wheels - but i am not sure how much more tho!
my diesel Cupra's got an SMF; I do 100+ miles a day, it's fine and you get used to and stop noticing the noise very quickly, who cares what other people might think anyway. besides which you're driving a PD not a smooth petrol V6...
I've already seen the video and i agree it is VERY loud and probily something that would annoy the hell out of me if it was my car. But thats just one car and its a golf, not a ibiza Haven't seen a video of a mk4 ibiza cupra tdi yet. If anyones got one that'd be more usefull?
If a dmf one lasts 2years and doesn't brake, (assuming it didn't brake stebbi?) i cant see point having one that makes a louder noise in the 1st place. Although i'm still thinking about it.
So has anyone got or seen a video of a Ibiza Cupra Tdi with a smf in it? Would very much like to hear how loud it is on one of my own cars.

First i've heard of it
if the single mass fly wheel is lighter, it sould spin easier therefore less resistance and more wheel bhp!
it's certainly not quiet, but to me the difference between dual mass and single mass is like the difference between petrol and PD engine - it's just something you (fairly quickly) get used to and stop noticing. until I have to move my brother's girlfirend's V6 Vectra and need to blip the throttle to check it's actually running...

Remember that video is recorded in an underground carpark. Plenty of space for the noise to echo and sound worse.

This video demonstrated the SMf also. And this is the same, there is alot of building around the car to echo it and make it sound worse
