FAQs
What vehicles is this Valeo CSC compatible with?
This specific Valeo CSC (810021) is designed for VW Transporter Mk4 models from 1995 to 2003 with a 2.5D or 2.8L engine.
What does 'concentric slave cylinder' mean?
A concentric slave cylinder (CSC) is a component that combines the clutch slave cylinder and the clutch release bearing into a single unit, mounted directly onto the transmission input shaft.
Why is low pedal effort a benefit?
Low pedal effort means less force is required to press the clutch pedal, which reduces driver fatigue, especially in heavy traffic or during extended driving periods.
Is this part a direct replacement for the original part?
Yes, Valeo is an Original Equipment (O.E.) supplier, meaning this part is designed to meet or exceed the specifications of the original part fitted by the manufacturer.
What is the significance of the 28mm bore diameter?
The 28mm bore diameter is a critical specification that determines the hydraulic force generated by the slave cylinder. It is engineered to match the requirements of the specific VW Transporter engine sizes (2.5D and 2.8L) for optimal clutch operation.
Does Valeo include installation instructions?
While Valeo provides a high-quality part, detailed installation instructions are typically found in the vehicle's service manual or provided by the installing mechanic. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
