What are the symptoms of a damaged DSG flywheel?

[LaPaislee]

For models equipped with DSG transmissions, abnormal noises will occur during driving when the flywheel is damaged. Below is relevant knowledge about the flywheel: The function of the automotive flywheel: The main function of the flywheel is to store energy and inertia outside the engine's power stroke. It is connected to the transmission and power output devices at the crankshaft's power output end. The flywheel has significant inertia. When the engine speed increases, the kinetic energy of the flywheel increases, storing energy. When the engine speed decreases, the flywheel's kinetic energy decreases, releasing the stored energy. The working principle of the automotive flywheel: The flywheel utilizes its rotational inertia to facilitate the smooth operation of the engine's four working cycles. During engine startup, the starter motor engages with the flywheel's outer ring gear via a small gear on the motor, driving the engine crankshaft to rotate and thus starting the engine.
