Apparently all the same, it's the same clutch used in the 2.6 / 3.2 and 3.0 and apparently 2.2 DTI.
My 3.2 estate had a gearbox from a DTI fitted, with the DTI clutch aswell. Seemingly it was exactly the same!
OK sorry chaps, I know it doesn't take much but I'm really confused
The consensus on here is that the 2.6/3.0 clutch kit is the same one that's fitted to the 2.2 DTi.
Yet - researching the parts on buypartsby website, only the 2.2 DTi one is the SAC (self adjusting clutch). The others just appear to be a normal clutch kit.
So - it can't possibly be the same clutch kit? As the 3.0 for example isn't self adjusting and doesn't need the tool?
Also - the buypartsby website specifically says that the 2.2DTi repset clutch kit they sell does NOT come with a release bearing! (unless you buy the "pro" one, which is over £100 more!!)
Yet - the 3.0 clutch kit listed does come with a bearing, and is just over £100.
I don't have a tool to evenly install the pressure plate on a self adjusting clutch.
Is there any good reason why I cannot or should not buy a clutch kit for a 3.0 litre model and just fit that? Would it cause any harm? The car will not be used for any towing at any point.
I'd really appreciate some opinions as I want to start the repairs ASAP
