A direct replacement

4 April 2014  

The range of high efficiency (HEC) clutch kits available from Valeo has grown. They directly replace self-adjusting clutches and are designed to improve driver comfort and increase the life of the clutch – plus they’re easier and quicker to fit. HEC kits have a special clutch cover which makes the diaphragm more rigid and a high efficiency, low-wear friction material – this is said to ensure a stable pedal distance and load throughout the life of the clutch. Designed to be easy to fit, the kits require no special tooling and there are 64 references in the range including popular marques such as Audi, BMW, Ford, Mercedes and Volkswagen.
