Schaeffler has revealed it offers clutch replacement solutions for both the 872cc and 964cc two-cylinder engined versions of all Fiat 500 models from July 2010.
The 500 has been described as a sales success for Fiat, so is also a potential regular visitor to the independent workshop.
The demands for improved driving comfort, performance, fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions means the Fiat 500 is fitted with complex, lightweight and vibration absorbing drive train components. If these become damaged or worn, it can have a knock-on effect on all associated parts.
However, with Schaeffler’s genuine OE quality transmission components, drive train damage can be resolved, by choosing from the range of LuK complete repair solutions and single components.
The complete solution comes in the form of the LuK RepSet DMF (part number 600 0323 00), which includes everything needed to carry out a professional replacement, including the dual mass flywheel (DMF). However, if a test and assessment of the DMF concludes that it is within wear tolerance parameters, then it doesn’t need replacing. In this situation, a LuK RepSet can be fitted (620 300 00).
Additionally, Schaeffler’s LuK GearBOX kit (462 0154 10) provides an in-house gearbox renovation, adding another string to the workshop’s bow.
In common with its RepSets, LuK GearBOX repair kits have been developed to repair specific, high wear applications and contain all the parts necessary to carry out a complete and professional gearbox overhaul. Installation instructions, videos and other support materials are also available through the REPXPERT portal.
