2000 Ducato 2.8L (v230) IdTD (IVECO Tranny)
I'm sitting in a garage in France. They just started the clutch replacement and noticed that the flywheel is quite burnt. So I said okay to a new flywheel.
Now they have told me that the 98452703 flywheel is extinct! I have looked all over the internet but found them to be right except for some used parts from Poland but with the number 7450498. I don't know that is the exact compatible part number but it sure 'looks' the same.
In any case, they propose to get me back on the road tomorrow by resurfacing my original flywheel. Sounds reasonable enough given the non-ability to find an OEM replacement and only used parts out there that will take a week to get to this garage. Bad timing as I am just traveling through France at the moment.
I am committed now, the flywheel just went to the machinist, but I just wanted to post this in hopes of some reassurances that I have done the best possible thing. (For the next time, and anyone that faces the same ordeal)
