Valeoscope - Transmission Syst. Clutch KIT4P Conversion Kit

9 Below you will find answers to common questions on KIT4P. For your additional questions which may not be listed here please contact Valeo. “How does the solid flywheel conver- sion kit work to dampen vibration?” The KIT4P offers optimal flywheel inertia, which contributes significantly to the reduction of engine vibrations. In addition to this, within a KIT4P the dampening function is transmitted to the clutch disc, which features Valeo long travel damper technology. The technology has a very low damper and pre-dam- per stiffness and increased inertia thanks to the rigid flywheel for reducing oscillation frequency. “Is there a loss in power transmission or slippage when KIT4P is fitted?” No, there is no loss in power transmission at all. KIT4P transmits 100% engine torque without any slippage. In the design phase, maximum engine torque over the complete application range is considered inclu- ding a safety factor. “If the flywheel weight changes, does it impact my starter?” Change of the flywheel weight has no negative impact on the starter.

F.A.Q. - Everything you need to know about KIT4P Once a KIT4P has been fitted, parts can only be identified after the old clutch has been removed. This can lead to delays in parts supply particu- larly important on L.C.Vs. and taxis.” Inside each KIT4P box, Valeo provides a sticker notice that will be attached to the engine. This enables vehicles fitted with KIT4P to be identified immediately during each service, well before any dismounting. “I replaced the D.M.F. with a KIT4P. Should I buy another KIT4P for the next clutch replacement? The rigid flywheel inside KIT4P does not contain wear components. Except for abnormal conditions (cracks on surface, damaged starter ring...) the clutch kit only needs to be replaced using Valeo Ser- vice Kits. Service Kits are available for the complete KIT4P product range. “Can KIT4P replace all D.M.F. applica- tions?” No, current KIT4P technology is suitable for vehicles with up to 360 Nm max engine torque. Diesel or turbo engines above this max engine torque require D.M.F. within today’s kit technology.
