Been told it has never been replaced and they have an average life of 50k - 100k miles. Just ordered a new one for £80 off eBay, genuine OE part.

Got my local mechanic to drive it around for a bit. Initially he thought it WAS the clutch, but after thoroughly testing it he concluded it was something else. He said my clutch and dmf is fine, otherwise it would stall or be more violent. Stuck it on the diagnostic machine. The results are below. My air flow sensor was faulty and reading at -39 degrees centigrade, hence the issue only happening after it warms up. So now looking to replace the air flow sensor, it's an easy job and I can do it myself. Will keep you posted.

Hi Chuckie888, You stated that you could put an avensis flywheel on an is220d. The parts in your post seem to refer to only a clutch kit. Have you successfully put in a DMF made for a toyota avensis on your is220d? I ask because i believe mine has given out. At £800 for a flyhweel, im looking at alternative means.

Thanks for the quick reply. It doesn't happen early morning, however, after driving around a bit and getting stuck in traffic, the judder gets really annoying! Going to get it checked out tomorrow afternoon. Checking the service history, everything has been changed but the clutch, so it is due a change. Reading about the forums, average flywheel lifespan is about 100,000 miles. I was kind of hoping you would say that you just changed the clutch, and the dmf is fine, as with my previous car, 3 Series E90, when the clutch was going you could tell immediately. Thanks anyway, will keep you posted.

Hi, did you ever get the problem resolved? I seem to have the exact same issue and my car has similar mileage. How much did it cost you in the end?
