Problems are showing up with the dual-mass flywheels used on manual cars with diesel engines to dampen vibration and protect gearboxes from torque around 2000 rpm. The compound joining the two parts of the flywheel degrades over time, or even separates taking out the flywheel plus probably the starter. Not a problem with torque converter automatics, not sure about DSG boxes though
