Volvo 480 Club Europe

Does anyone know where I can get a new (not reconditioned) clutch kit for a 2.0l?

Does anyone have any experience of these

Hi Nigel

I can't comment on the clutch kit you refer to above. Also, I don't know whether you are looking for "standard" or still have plans for racing/performance activities with the car!

However, I changed the clutch on the previous 440 2.0i (exactly the same engine/gearbox set up as your 480) and fitted a National clutch, which proved absolutely fine. One on ebay currently here:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203051299451 ... Sw-NtfCB1E

You may already have this information, but if it helps in your search, the original Volvo part number for the clutch kit for the 2.0i is 3270515 - 4.

Equivalents are:
National CK9380
Borg & Beck HK9607
LUK 621164600

Hope this helps a bit!

David

Thanks David.
Yes, I’d seen the National ones on eBay, the mechanic I’m using isn’t too keen on that, he believes it to be reconditioned and says the amount of work involved he wants to put something decent in. Ideally LUK but nowhere has them in stock.
I will still be doing track days but only occasionally so standard would be fine but it’s getting one!
He’s doing his own search too and a decision will be made tomorrow
Thanks

it's not too difficult to just swap the plate over. . . . .
saves taking the box out

The clutch is only one job happening!
The subframe is coming out and being replaced, new wishbones, new shocks and springs!

That's fair enough Nigel, although I don't know why your mechanic should think it's reconditioned. The advert clearly states "new" and if it's reconditioned it must say so.

Agree about others perhaps being better quality though; when I did the 440 it was as hard to find one, hence going for the National one almost on a "beggars can't be choosers" basis. I have to say, though, it proved perfectly fine in use.

Good luck!

This one comes up when I search the part number...? (don't forget to search 'worldwide' for some things.

It says it is for the Turbo D 440/460 though and has a different part number....appears to offer postage to UK.

I'll just stop. I can't locate a LUK one! Sorry.

as per my recommendation on facebook, have a look at clutch fix on google, great service, quick delivery, cheap as chips
