Alternative Super-kit with rigid Flywheel for RAV4 II and AVENSIS CDT220, 1CD-FTV engine
On the European market there is a new Super-kit supplied by third parties which is wrongly presented as an alternative to our genuine Super-kit AISIN/TOYOTA with Dual Mass Flywheel: SKT-303 (ex SKT-216A).
This "alternative" is in fact a clutch kit with a rigid flywheel instead of a Dual Mass one.
Please remember that:
- This "alternative" kit cannot be fitted on our Dual Mass Flywheel AISIN/TOYOTA FDT-002.
- Our original AISIN/TOYOTA FDT-002 is designed to damp the high vibrations generated by the engine and cope with the Torque output.
- The "alternative" Disc (with springs instead of genuine rigid disc) and the "alternative" Cover can only cope with part of the Torque generated by the engine.
- In term of performance, they are sub-standard products.
- The lack of Dual Mass Flywheel generates vibrations that make driving a noisy and uncomfortable experience.
- The vibrations transmitted by that sub-standard kit (with rigid Flywheel) generate excessive wear of the gearbox components.
- The customer exposes himself to high expenses that might come as a consequence of the use of such sub-standard product, not equivalent to OE products.
AISIN informs that we do not take any responsability for the choice of such products, even if on of our products (the Cover) is unproperly included in that "alternative" rigid Flywheel super kit.
AISIN being a supplier of TOYOTA can only reject such alternatives which are against our technical principles of careful product selection and safety of the user.
For any further information, do not hesitate to contact directly the Aftermarket department of AISIN EUROPE am@be.aisin-europe.com.
