MD diesel: Dual mass flywheel?

[russellw]

In terms of the model designations, here is a bit of history in Australia.The first generation Mondeo came here in 1995 and lasted until 2000 and is referred to as the HC (until 1999) and HD (from 1999). It was available as a 4 door sedan, 5 door hatch or as a wagon and in two trim levels (CLX/GLX). While there were as many as six engine variants available in other markets, Australia initially only got the 2.0L 16V Zetec with either the MTX75 5-speed manual or the CD4E 4-speed auto. This changed in 2000 when the ST24 came here as a sedan equipped with the 2.5L 24V V6 Duratec engine but only mated to a 5 speed manual transmission.The European 2nd Gen Mondeo never came to Australia officially but it was sold in New Zealand.The 3rd Gen was launched at the Melbourne Motor Show in March 2007 and would become known as the MA. It was available as a 4 door sedan or 5 door hatch and in two trim levels (LX/Zetec) and with 3 engine options: 2.3 Litre Duratec 16V; 2.0 Litre Duratorq 16V Turbo Diesel and a 2.5 Litre Duratec 20V Turbo in the XR5 Turbo model. The only transmission choice for anything other than the XR5 was the Durashift 6-speed automatic transmission (AWF21) while the XR5 had the 6-speed manual M66.The MB was launched in July 2009 and added the wagon back to the model range while dropping the sedan as well as introducing a Titanium model. The engines carried over from the MA but were limited to some variants - the 2.3L could be had in the LX, Zetec and Titanium (hatch & wagon); the Diesel in the Zetech & Titanium hatch and the 2.5L in the XR5 hatch only. Transmission choices remained the same.The MC was launched in November 2010 with the wagon following in early 2011. The engines carried over from the MB while the 2.5L Turbo and the XR5 hatch disappeared after the engine was dropped in Europe. Transmission choices were limited to the AWF21 6-speed auto or the new 6-speed dual clutch Powershift 6DCT450 which was standard in the Titanium and optional for all other models. 2013 saw a mid-life update that added a 2.0L EcoBoost to the Zetec & Titanium while the older 2.3L was only available in the LX. The MD was launched in December 2014 and based on the EU Gen 4 Mondeo and it's generally considered to be a 2015 model. Only the 5-door hatch and wagon were available with 3 variants (Ambiente, Trend and Titanium). The engines available were the 2.0L EcoBoost and 2.0L Duratorq Turbo diesel. Transmission choices were limited to the SelectShift 6-speed automatic transmission (6F35) in the petrol models or the 6-speed dual clutch Powershift MPS6/6DCT450 in diesel models. Various tweaks were made in 2017 and 2019 before the Mondeo was dropped in our market.

I have the specific model codes for the VIN plate ID's if you need to determine which variant you really have.
