My car also has a slight rumble at idle. Brand new motors mounts. Changed vanos solenoids. New eccentric shaft sensor. New valve cover and PCV hose. Shop ran a smoke test, no vacuum leaks. Car still has a very slight rumble despite no misfires. Also the RPMs sometimes dips when coming to a stop. A part of me suspects it's also tied to the DMFW.
I've been looking around for a better solution to the stock DMFW but don't want to go single mass and increase the NVH. There needs to be a better middle ground.

I've been really thinking about that Valeo single mass conversion kit - it weighs the same as the original pieces. If we're already getting a bit of rattle from a worn dual-mass, then I don't think a single mass would really be that bad unless you get a lightened flywheel. The clutch is now sprung - I saw some people arguing that you're not solving the problem just moving it. I'd argue you're still solving it to some degree: the flywheel is less of a wear item now, and you moved the damping to the piece you'd always replace.
Also if I had a nickel for every time someone mentioned these cars stumble a bit at idle.. I don't know what's going on but seems like many many people experience this. I figure I still get great performance and gas mileage so it can't be TOO broken.
