“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.
“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.
