VALEO KIT4P – CONVERSION KIT 835160 Clutch kit

Description

An Audi clutch kit is a package that contains all the essential components needed to replace a worn-out clutch system in your Audi vehicle. These kits typically include:

• Clutch disc: This is the part that makes contact with the flywheel and transmits power from the engine to the transmission. It’s usually made of friction material and wears out over time due to use and heat.

• Pressure plate: This applies clamping force to the clutch disc against the flywheel, creating the grip needed to transfer power.

• Throw-out bearing: This bearing helps disengage the clutch disc from the flywheel when you press the clutch pedal.
• Pilot bearing: This bearing supports the input shaft of the transmission and can wear out over time.
• Flywheel: This is the large metal disc that the clutch disc contacts. In some Audi models, the flywheel is a dual-mass flywheel (DMF) which helps dampen engine vibrations. DMFs can be expensive to replace, so some clutch kits offer a conversion kit to a single-mass flywheel (SMF).
• Flywheel bolts: These bolts secure the flywheel to the crankshaft.

Choosing the right clutch kit for your Audi:

There are many different clutch kits available for Audi vehicles, so it’s important to choose one that is compatible with your specific model, engine, and transmission. You can find this information in your owner’s manual or by contacting your Audi dealer.

Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a clutch kit:

• Performance: If you plan on using your Audi for performance driving, you may want to consider a performance clutch kit that is designed for higher torque and heat resistance.
• Budget: Clutch kits range in price from around $200 to $1,000 or more. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) kits are typically the most expensive, but they are also the best quality. Aftermarket kits can be a more affordable option, but be sure to choose a reputable brand.
• Installation: Replacing a clutch can be a complex job, so you may want to factor in the cost of installation when budgeting for a new clutch kit.
