4 Why Conversion kit
- KIT4P?
Today’s modern engines produce higher torques and
can be driven at low engine speeds. The resulting
higher maximum engine torque to be transmitted
leads to increased vibration and noise. One of the key
reasons why diesel cars and light commercial vehi-
cles have become much quieter over recent years
and less prone to rattling is the development of the
Dual Mass Flywheel (D.M.F.) technology.

Yet certain applications faced problems linked to the


D.M.F. resulting in early flywheel and clutch repla-
cement. D.M.F. manufacturers including Valeo have
improved D.M.F. technology to reduce such problems.
As an alternative offer to the spare parts market
(I.A.M.), Valeo has also developed the KIT4P.

In Europe, the story began in Spain with the first KIT4P


for Volkswagen 1.9Tdi engines that were used on taxi
models. The technical problem was poor heat dissi-
pation and rapid wear. The affected customers were
seeking a more reliable solution. For Valeo designing
an alternative and efficient solution as KIT4P was
obvious.

KIT4P has been in the spare parts market since


2002 with high success and customer satisfac-
tion. The rigid flywheel and clutch kit combination is
designed for today’s high engine torques and capable
of filtering the engine acyclisms. KIT4P ensures correct
clutch functionality under all driving conditions, filters
out the vibration and noise generated by the engine,
and fully protects the engine and the gearbox.
It is important to remember that Valeo is an increasin-
gly important O.E. Dual Mass Flywheel supplier for
several car makers. Valeo’s powertrain technology
roadmap clearly identifies D.M.F. as a future solution
for different powertrain structures. It is important to
note that within technological constraints, both
D.M.F. and rigid flywheel solutions are possible
according to the car maker’s choice.

5 KIT4P composition
KIT4P is composed of a rigid flywheel with no wear
and a high-performance clutch kit.
The rigid flywheel has its key timing slots machined
and aligned correctly, which means that there is no risk
of poor starting and running once fitted.
The clutch kit within a KIT4P contains a long travel
damper clutch disc which incorporates a high-tech
pre-damper multi-cassette and “long-travel” dampers.
The specific KIT4P composition can vary depending on
clutch actuation.

6 KIT4P design:
Long Travel Damper
(L.T.D.)
6.1 Long Travel Damper
technology
The D.M.F. is designed to increase the mass
moment of inertia of the transmission without
increasing the mass to be shifted (flywheel
weight) or, in other words, to equalize the iner-
tia between gearbox and flywheel.

The KIT4P is composed of a rigid flywheel with a


significant moment of inertia used as a storage
device for rotational energy. Thanks to Valeo’s
Long Travel Damper technology, the dampening
function can be transferred to the clutch disc. In
certain cases, however, Valeo may use a stan-
dard damper to comply with clutch requirements
due to design and vehicle characteristics.

applications such as Ford Transit, an SX damper

further KIT4P versions for vehicles with higher
torques on the I.A.M.

evolution: High Angular
Displacement (H.A.D.)
Technology
Car Manufacturers request high-performance
products for increased engine torque with com-
pact size. These expectations are now covered
with the H.A.D. offer for diesel engines and pe-
trol direct injection engines.
Valeo High Angular Displacement (H.A.D.) is
a further evolution of Valeo O.E. Long Travel
Damper Technology. It is composed of a high-
tech pre-damper multi-cassette that provides
an optimized angular stiffness over the clutch
disc. This O.E. technology enables car manufactu-
rers to use a rigid flywheel instead of the Dual
Mass Flywheel technology even at high engine
torques (up to 270 Nm for passenger cars and
350 Nm for Light Commercial Vehicles)
On the front cover of this brochure, you can see
the H.A.D. clutch together with the rigid flywheel
for Fiat Scudo, Citroën Jumpy and Peugeot Expert
with 2.0HDi engine. This is not the only example,
as H.A.D. is also available for the Renault Scénic
1.9D and the Renault Fluence 1.5dCi. The choice
of clutch product depends on many factors such
as performance, efficiency and reduction of ove-
rall costs. Valeo’s R&D centres are capable of
offering a solution that is perfectly matched to
the car manufacturer’s requirements and the
given technical limitations.

7 KIT4P
Main advantages
KIT4P provides savings during the first clutch
replacement as it uses a rigid flywheel. Fur-
thermore, the rigid flywheel is very durable and
does not need to be replaced. When the second
clutch replacement is due, only the clutch kit
itself needs to be replaced, not the flywheel.
This enables cost savings for all future clutch
replacements.

KIT4P is not only a cost-effective solution, but


also yields technical advantages in certain cases:

g Extremely reliable solution providing full


gearbox and engine protection
g Increased durability and clutch life thanks to low
wear and tear and better thermal resistance
g 100% torque transfer in all drive conditions pro-
viding an important safety factor
g Comfortable solution with high filtration of vi-
bration and noise to enhance driving pleasure
g Reduced labor and optimized serviceability
thanks to the Valeo Service Kit
g Easy to fit, same installation and fitting time as
D.M.F. and the associated clutch kit

8.2.3 KIT4P sticker


The KIT4P sticker makes vehicles equipped with
a KIT4P easily recognizable. Only the associated
Service Kit must be purchased and replaced on
the vehicle during second clutch replacement.
This sticker must be put on the engine environ-
ment once the KIT4P is mounted on the vehi-
cle. It resists increased engine temperatures so
there is no risk when applied to an appropriate
part of the vehicle.

Service Kit: once the KIT4P is installed in the


vehicle, the rigid flywheel does not require
replacement if not damaged. Thus, when
the second clutch replacement is due, only
the cover, the disc and the bearing need to
be replaced. Valeo offers a complete range of
Service Kits which feature this advantage and
hence lead to reduced cost and labor starting
from the second clutch replacement.

8.2.4 KIT4P fitting bolts


During each KIT4P replacement, use the bolts
supplied in the box and respect tightening infor-
mation to avoid any warranty issues.

The flywheel bolts and clutch cover bolts are


always supplied in all KIT4P boxes. They are
specifically designed for each application. Once
tightened and used in operation, they should
not be reused and must be replaced by new
bolts provided in the box each time.
