Technical Tips
MODELS
Various models fitted with DMF conversion kits (SMF)
PROBLEM
Vehicles already fitted with a DMF conversion kit that
require new clutch units (Service Kit)
RESULT
Inability to supply correct clutch parts
The DMF conversion kits that replace the dual mass
flywheel with a single mass/solid flywheel can be
manufactured by different companies. When supplying
the clutch service kits for vehicles that have already
been fitted with a conversion kit it is very important to
establish the correct parts required as in many cases
the kits are not interchangeable. Can you answer the
following question...
Do you know the type of solid flywheel kit fitted to the
vehicle, was it Valeo, Transmech, other?
It is imperative to find out whose conversion kit was
originally fitted in order to supply the correct clutch
service kit, failure to carry this out could result in costly
warranty issues. If the manufacturer cannot be identified
then it is far safer to supply and fit another full conversion
kit or return back to the DMF system.
