16v and TDI clutch kit compatibility?
« on: 05 November 2013, 13:23 »

Basically im sorting out what stuff I can utilise on a TDI from my 16v stockpile and one of the main parts ive got is a brand new Borg & Beck 3piece clutch kit as linked above.
I know that both these vehicles run the O2A gearboxes just with different gear ratios so theoretically it should fit but will it last any longer or shorter than a normal off the shelf TDI clutch kit due to the torque variation?
If its no good then il be selling it instead.

I assume the same part numbers came up then, im not surprised to be honest but I only ask as I know the VR6 kits are slightly different even though its once again an O2A gearbox.

Vw list the Abf as having the same pressure plate and friction plate as the 1Z tdi.  :smiley:

Both parts are different part no's on a vr6, not that that's really relevant, lol.
