Valeoscope - Transmission Syst. Clutch KIT4P Conversion Kit

“Do you offerwarrantywhen the KIT4P is used in light commercial vehicles or taxis?” Yes, KIT4P has the same warranty conditions as any regular product at Valeo for range of applications specified in Valeo catalogues. Valeo does not limit the range of applications for vehicles with com- mercial usage. “What are the examples of vehicles using KIT4P technology in O.E.M.?” Here are some examples: Ford Transit 2000-2006 2.4Tdi – Ford Turkey, after initial D.M.F. problems on the first vehicles decided to use rigid flywheel in Turkey. Thus Valeo KIT4P 835000 is O.E. in Turkey Hyundai Santa Fe. - 2.0/2.4 l models had been produced with a D.M.F. + Kit application until 2003. After 2003, Hyundai decided to use a rigid flywheel and a Valeo kit containing long travel damper Peugeot Expert, Citroen Jumpy, Fiat Scudo 2.0Hdi 2011>-PSA has decided to launch this vehicle with rigid flywheel and asked Valeo to supply the clutch kit. Valeo’s new H.A.D. technology is used on this model instead of a D.M.F. Renault Scenic 1.9dCi and Renault Megane Fluence 1.5Dci also use H.A.D. technology in O.E. Volkswagen 1.2TDi engines (Polo…) Ford with new Ecoboost 1.3l engines (Ford C-Max, Focus…) on which a D.M.F. solution is technically not possible. “Why choose KIT4P?” A reliable solution, corresponding to the highest O.E. standards Increased durability thanks to solid flywheel, low wear and better thermal resistance 100% torque transfer providing an important safety factor Comfortable solution with high filtration of vibration and noise to enhance driving pleasure Avoids costly replacements due to known D.M.F. problems on certain vehicles Easy to fit, same installation and fitting time as D.M.F. and associated kit. g g g g g g gg g g g g

“Is it normal that when fitting a KIT4P the clutch pedal gets harder to ope- rate?” KIT4P is designed and produced according to the same acceptance criteria as an O.E. product. A KIT4P actually reduces pedal load. However, noting such a difference directly after fitment is normal and simply due to the difference between a used clutch and a new clutch. “Do I need any specific tool to fit KIT4P?” No, KIT4P is a regular clutch replacement that does not require any specific tooling. Valeo provides within the KIT4P box some installation tips for garages and shares technical fitting instructions on electronic catalogues and Valeo TechAssist. “Can I use the bolts of the D.M.F. for re- placing KIT4P?” It is not adequate to use “old” bolts for installing the new flywheel. This is why Valeo provides crankshaft fitting bolts inside every KIT4P box. KIT4P contains all items required for a complete repla- cement. “If KIT4P can replace D.M.F., why is it not used by carmakers in O.E.?” The KIT4P technology is used in O.E. But since these vehicles are already equipped with a rigid flywheel, Valeo only supplies the clutch kit. KIT4P is an I.A.M. solution for vehicles fitted with D.M.F. originally. However technology used or components are original equipment. D.M.F. is a common application for diesel or turbo engines with engine torques higher than 250 Nm. Thus, any diesel vehicle above this engine torque is a potential D.M.F. application. If a rigid flywheel is used in such vehicles, one could say that the vehicle is already equipped with a KIT4P. However, since the flywheel has a low replacement rate, it is not included in the module. This is why we sell only the clutch kit on the I.A.M. Car manufacturers are looking for opportunities to increase efficiency. This includes the launch of new, low-consumption engines into the market. We are likely to see this trend increase even further in the near future.
