Clutch Kit for Audi Q5: Sintered Metal
This clutch kit for the Audi Q5 is specified around sintered metal, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is packing that arrived crushed at the port, or documentation that arrived after the container shipped. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
