Cannon Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 If you're asking for advice on what brand and where to buy etc, then a Luk 3 piece from Euro Car Parts would be as good as any. Just use one of their recurring discount codes when ordering and you'll get it at around trade price. The only thing to look out for is whether the flywheel is dual mass, and if it is still within tolerance. Would be costly if you fitted a new clutch only for the flywheel to give up a short time later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be careful of clutches from them... not so long ago they were using Valeo and luk units that were remanufactured in the middle east or something, they got a good ####ing for it. Not sure if it has carried on but when the rep came around I questioned him about it and he pretty much ran off.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 ECP were also caught with bottles of counterfeit engine oil, but they have cleaned up their act since. Just keep your invoices from purchasing and fitting. Then if there are any issues, you have a paper trail to fall back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 The oil was a generic type that they were packaging in different bottles. So customers who were buying a specific viscosity or ACEA rating to suit their vehicles were getting something entirely different. The wrong spec oil can lead to metal to metal contact within engines, so there may well have been issues as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
