I have the valeo smf kit and vr6 clutch on my 1.8t (different flywheel but same idea) They work fine, you just get a little more drivetrain noise and rattle at idle but no big deal. You might loose a little hwy mpg (.5-1.0) but no biggie
When I swapped in the gti 02q 6 speed, I just ordered an oem style gti FSI clutch kit with a solid fly wheel made by Valeo. I didn't opt for a lightened flywheel and really like the solid flywheel compared to the oem dual mass flywheel.
I got an oem style clutch kit made by Valeo for an 06 gti 2.0t fsi and it's been doing really well.
I like my Valeo Gen2 wipers. They're about $20 a pair, and they've lasted over a year with no streaking at all, and they're super quiet.
Getting back to the original topic, I just installed the 2nd Valeo single mass conversion on my GF's TDI with 205K. The car was shaking like Michael J Fox, now it's as smooth as a Miles Davis solo.
I personally only use Valeo blades. They've always worked out well. I typically get 12-15 months out of them before they need to be replaced.
i just put my valeo clutch kit in, i got it from GAP about a month ago, itworks PERFECT, came with disc, pressure plate, TO bearing & alignment tool & some lube, i got the kit for $170 valeo & sachs are equal in quality, i would deffinitly buy another 1, it works excellent :thumbup:
I have the Valeo (from Amazon when they had a bogo sale). They perform very well and are quiet.
my valeo radiator didn't come with anything.. im just hoping it doesn't leak from that zone.
The valeo kits are not = to the OEM sachs kit. They are much easier to sheer the rivets holding the marcel to the hub, the springs are more prone to getting sloppy, and the pressure plate straps and rivets are a lot less beefy.
