Luk DMF057 Clutch Flywheel

LuK DMF057 Dual Mass Flywheel

The LuK DMF057 is a dual mass flywheel engineered for specific Volkswagen applications, including the 2004 and 2008 Volkswagen R32. Built around the original LuK DMF design, it helps maintain drivetrain smoothness and reduces the stress that can occur when a solid flywheel is used in place of the correct OE-style unit.

Key Features

• Dual mass flywheel design for drivetrain damping and smoother power transfer
• Flywheel diameter: 24.1 in. / 9.488 in.
• Flywheel inner diameter: 15.4 in. / 6.063 in.
• Flywheel cup depth/step height: -0.236 in. / -6 mm
• 135-tooth ring gear configuration
• OE-style fitment for Volkswagen R32 applications
• Part number DMF057 for easy identification

Detailed Description

LuK DMF057 is a clutch flywheel built to match the requirements of the original dual mass flywheel system. The design is individually tuned for the application, helping isolate engine vibration before it reaches the transmission. For Volkswagen R32 owners, this matters because the correct flywheel helps preserve smooth engagement and reduces the mechanical load that can build up in the drivetrain.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 167171 for the same application. LuK DMF057 is also referenced by 50-2813 and 022105266L in interchange listings.

What It Helps Address

• Excess drivetrain vibration during acceleration and shifting
• Premature wear associated with incorrect solid flywheel conversions
• Stress on engine mounts from uncontrolled torsional movement
• Gearbox strain caused by poor vibration damping
• Crankshaft damage risk linked to improper flywheel selection

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify flywheel diameter, inner diameter, step height, and tooth count before installation. Confirm vehicle application by year and model: Fits 2004 Volkswagen R32, N/A and Fits 2008 Volkswagen R32, N/A. Because this is a precision drivetrain component, installation should follow factory service procedures and torque specifications for the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

LuK supplies OE-level drivetrain components, and this DMF057 flywheel follows the original dual mass flywheel concept for application-specific tuning and fitment control.
