9. Why Conversion kit
- KIT4P?4Today’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.

10. 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.

66.1 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.

Current Valeo O.E. Long Travel Damper techno-
logy can be found in three product categories;
SX, WX and High Angular Displacement Techno-
logy (NX1…NX4). The design depends on the
maximum torque of the vehicle engine and on
the diameter of the clutch. A majority of the
KIT4P range features a WX damper. On certain
applications such as Ford Transit, an SX damper
is used. The H.A.D. technology is used only in
O.E. currently. This will enable Valeo to develop
further KIT4P versions for vehicles with higher
torques on the I.A.M.
The L.T.D. technology consists of a specific friction
plate with a high damper capacity and a damper
with very low stiffness for improved filtration
and transmission performance. This low angular
stiffness coupled with the specifically matched
flywheel inertia ensures the appropriate damping
level as well as an extended life of the clutch kit.

16. 6.4 Long Travel Damper
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.

7KIT4P 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:

18. 7.1 A reliable solution
KIT4P includes a rigid flywheel. The inertia in com-
bination with the cover assembly is calculated to
have a good compensation on piston alternative
forces to reduce engine acyclisms. The transmis-
sion protection provides full engine and gearbox
safety. The graphic below shows the wear ratio behavior
of the two most popular facings used within the
KIT4P range depending on the temperature and
the thermal load of the clutch.

7.2 Increased clutch life
The clutch facing within a KIT4P works at lower
temperatures compared to a D.M.F. version
(between 100ºC and 270ºC). KIT4P overall lifetime
is improved as the friction wear decreases at
lower temperatures.

7.4 Comfortable solution
KIT4P filters vibrations and noise for essential dri-
ving pleasure. The innovative long travel dam-
per aids driver comfort and comes close to the
damping performance characteristics of a D.M.F.
KIT4P may allow increased disengagement comfort
reducing the pedal load due to greater stiffness
in the complete system, from diaphragm fingers
to crankshaft.
Depending on the application, KIT4P technology
may allow increased clutch size. This increases
the safety factor for torque transmission and
also reduces the release bearing load, conse-
quently reducing pedal load for clutch actuation.
7.5 Non-wear flywheel &
Service Kit
The rigid flywheel does not require replacement
unless there is abnormal damage on the fric-
tion surface or the starter ring. 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 for vehi-
cles equipped with KIT4P.
7.3 Efficient torque transfer
KIT4P ensures 100% torque transfer, and during
the design phase, the maximum engine torque
is considered. In addition, Kit4P efficiency is vali-
dated via benchmark tests and vehicle trials.
KIT4P runs at optimized temperature boundaries,
thus keeping the facing’s friction coefficient in
good value for increasing torque transfer capacity.
The graph below shows the friction coefficient
as a function of temperature for different facings
used in KIT4P. It is once again visible that the
temperature range between 100ºC and 270ºC
offers advantages in terms of a reduced friction
coefficient.

26. 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.

28. 9Below you will find answers to common
questions on KIT4P. For your additional
questions which may not be listed here
please contact Valeo.
“How does the solid flywheel conver-
sion kit work to dampen vibration?”
The KIT4P offers optimal flywheel inertia, which
contributes significantly to the reduction of engine
vibrations. In addition to this, within a KIT4P the
dampening function is transmitted to the clutch disc,
which features Valeo long travel damper technology.
The technology has a very low damper and pre-dam-
per stiffness and increased inertia thanks to the rigid
flywheel for reducing oscillation frequency.
“Is there a loss in power transmission
or slippage when KIT4P is fitted?”
No, there is no loss in power transmission at all. KIT4P
transmits 100% engine torque without any slippage.
In the design phase, maximum engine torque over
the complete application range is considered inclu-
ding a safety factor.
“If the flywheel weight changes, does
it impact my starter?”
Change of the flywheel weight has no negative
impact on the starter.
F.A.Q. - Everything
you need to know
about KIT4P
26
Once a KIT4P has been fitted, parts
can only be identified after the old
clutch has been removed. This can
lead to delays in parts supply particu-
larly important on L.C.Vs. and taxis.”
Inside each KIT4P box, Valeo provides a sticker
notice that will be attached to the engine. This
enables vehicles fitted with KIT4P to be identified
immediately during each service, well before any
dismounting.
“I replaced the D.M.F. with a KIT4P.
Should I buy another KIT4P for the
next clutch replacement?
The rigid flywheel inside KIT4P does not contain
wear components. Except for abnormal conditions
(cracks on surface, damaged starter ring...) the
clutch kit only needs to be replaced using Valeo Ser-
vice Kits. Service Kits are available for the complete
KIT4P product range.
“Can KIT4P replace all D.M.F. applica-
tions?”
No, current KIT4P technology is suitable for vehicles
with up to 360 Nm max engine torque. Diesel or
turbo engines above this max engine torque require
D.M.F. within today’s kit technology.

“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 anyspecific 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.
