Luk DMF052 Clutch Flywheel

LuK DMF052 Dual Mass Flywheel Overview

The LuK DMF052 is a dual mass flywheel built for select Volkswagen applications, including the 2002-2004 Volkswagen Jetta and 2003-2005 Volkswagen Golf. As an OE-style clutch flywheel, it is fine-tuned for the vehicle’s drivetrain requirements and helps maintain smoother power transfer through the transmission.

For Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta owners searching for a direct-fit dual mass flywheel, the LuK DMF052 provides the correct tooth count, diameter, and step height specifications for the listed applications.

Key Features

• Dual mass flywheel construction for drivetrain damping
• Flywheel diameter: 24.1 in. / 9.488 in.
• Flywheel inner diameter: 15.4 in. / 6.063 in.
• Flywheel cup depth/step height: -0.13 in. / -3.3 mm
• 135-tooth ring gear
• OE-style fitment for select Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta models
• Part number: DMF052

Detailed Description

LuK DMF052 is a clutch flywheel engineered as a dual mass flywheel for specific Volkswagen drivetrain applications. The dual mass design helps isolate torsional vibration between the engine and transmission, which is important in vehicles that rely on precise flywheel balance and damping characteristics. This part number, DMF052, is listed for 2003-2005 Volkswagen Golf and 2002-2004 Volkswagen Jetta models.

Compared with a solid flywheel, the LuK DMF052 follows the original equipment approach used for these applications and is matched to the listed diameter, inner diameter, step height, and 135 teeth. That makes it a relevant choice for Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta owners replacing a worn dual mass flywheel with an OE-style unit.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 167172 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive drivetrain vibration during acceleration or shifting
• Noise caused by a worn or damaged flywheel assembly
• Irregular clutch engagement related to flywheel wear
• Transmission stress associated with improper flywheel damping
• Fitment issues when replacing the original dual mass flywheel on listed Volkswagen models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the flywheel diameter, tooth count, and step height against the original part before installation. Confirm vehicle application by year and model: Fits 2003-2005 Volkswagen Golf and Fits 2002-2004 Volkswagen Jetta. Because dual mass flywheel replacement affects clutch and transmission operation, inspect related clutch components and mounting surfaces during service. Professional installation is recommended for proper alignment and torque procedures.

Quality Assurance

LuK is the original equipment brand referenced by the manufacturer for this DMF application, and the DMF052 is built to match the vehicle-specific requirements of the listed Volkswagen fitments. The design is intended to preserve the damping characteristics expected from the original dual mass flywheel setup.
