Ten new TVD pulleys have been added to the Continental range. All come with the relevant fixing bolt, so customers no longer need to order the bolts separately.

Adrian Rothschild, head of product management EMEA for Continental says, “In most cases, it makes sense to change the bolt when you change the TVD pulley, because the manufacturer's specs often stipulate that a new bolt is required when the TVD is replaced. For convenience we now supply these expansion bolts as part of the package.”

These complete packages give fitters quick access to all the parts they need to replace a TVD pulley. You can identify them by the “S” at the end of the type designation and they cover many important applications:

VD1094S for e.g. Citroen 1.6 HDi

VD1080S for e.g. Peugeot 2.0 HDi

VD1104S for e.g. Nissan 1.9 dCi

VD1002S for e.g. VW 2.TDi

VD1105S for e.g. BMW 3.0d

VD1110S for e.g. Ford 2.0D

VD1120S for e.g. BMW 2.0d

VD1113S for e.g. Renault 1.5 dCi

VD1127S for e.g. BMW 18d

VD1031S for e.g. Opel 2.2DTI

In the course of 2021 Continental is aiming to offer a TVD solution for 80% of all vehicles in Europe and to mirror its success with its TVD pulleys for the Volkswagen Group’s EA211 engine family.
