Reviews of VALEO parts For Business
France
Valeo 3 row radiator is what i use and it works great
I didn't do the install, but I went with the single mass clutch kit from Valeo when my slave cylinder went. I like it better than the dual, seems a little easier to press now and I haven't noticed much on vibrations
I'd buy a Valeo, but Valeo doesn't have a part number for the later Cabriolets and their catalog lists incorrect sizes. I bought my radiator locally, but I needed it ASAP and they happened to have a Valeo in stock
Purchased a Valeo clutch kit with a single mass flywheel to replace the problematic dual mass flywheel.
The only other blade I would consider on par with or a slight upgrade would be the Valeos I got from Tire Rack.
I had a Valeo alternator from an 03 Jetta in my garage, so I slapped that in and made the connector work somehow. Its working perfect now. 14.5v almost instantly at startup. Weather is below 30F.
However I found when I fitted genuine Valeo-branded E-codes to my 2000 that I had, the beam was a little more uniform looking and less splotchy.
my car had a 120A valeo, total b!tch to get out even with the front end removed, hard to get the ground wire off, will put the new one on in the AM
Well I am just @ the 400 mark and with the six speed I kinda bargained out and just picked up a Valeo single mass conversion kit....I had no clue how long it would last but knock on wood it's been in for a year. I have noticed lately it's starting to do some strange things like not release every time....makes for an interesting drive when this happens.
