Exedy Clutch Kit for DCi. Trusted brand?

[Budgie]

As above. Would normally always go Valeo, but CP4L is only showing Transmech, LUK or Exedy.

Exedy one is the same price as the LUK, but comes with a release bearing included which would be handy.

Anyone used one before?

 

[Budgie]

Nobody?

Feck it, i'll just buy an LUK one and release bearing seperately.

My limited experience of exedy has had no issues.

Cheers Dan. For the sake of an extra £12, i went with LUK.

Love the DCi already- just bought:

Clutch kit
Release bearing
Oil
Oil Filter
Air Filter
Pollen Filter
Wiper blades

£136 delivered.

Worth doing the fuel filter too as it's knocking on for miles? Is bleeding them a pain like on my old 106, or because it's not a mechanical pump, nice and easy?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Piece of piss mate. Change the filter and prime it using the hand pump and fire up. Genuine service kit? They're on offer ATM. £50 ish and include oil!

Nah, got it all from CP4L..

Castrol oil etc, so should be fine. Plus, it's a 170k mile shed, lol.

That, and it's a doddle to get it all from their website..
