Product Description
The LuK Clutch kit (621 0283 16) is an original-equipment-quality drivetrain replacement assembly manufactured by LuK (a brand of the Schaeffler Group). Positioned between the engine crankshaft and the manual transmission, its primary function is to couple and decouple the engine's power from the gearbox during gear changes and vehicle launches. This kit features a premium clutch friction disc paired with an optimized pressure plate diaphragm system, engineered to provide smooth engagement, precise torque modulation, and effective dampening of engine firing vibrations to prevent drivetrain chatter.

Vehicle Compatibility
This 210mm drivetrain assembly is custom-engineered for modern-classic and contemporary Volkswagen Group (VAG) passenger platforms utilizing mid-displacement transverse engines paired with manual gearboxes:
| Car Model | Compatible Engines / Variants | Engine Power (hp / kW) | Year of Manufacture |
|---|---|---|---|
| VW Golf IV (1J1) / Bora (1J2) / Variant Estate | 1.9 TDI (Selected FWD manual configurations) | 90 - 101 hp / 66 - 74 kW | 1997 - 2005 |
| VW Golf V (1K1) / Jetta III (1K2) | 1.9 TDI / 2.0 SDI | 75 - 105 hp / 55 - 77 kW | 2003 - 2009 |
| AUDI A3 (8L1, 8P1) / Sportback | 1.9 TDI (Standard 5-speed manual platforms) | 90 - 105 hp / 66 - 77 kW | 1996 - 2010 |
| SKODA Octavia I & II (1U2, 1Z3) / Combi | 1.9 TDI (Engine codes such as ALH, AGR, BJB, BKC, BXE) | 90 - 105 hp / 66 - 77 kW | 1996 - 2010 |
| SEAT Leon (1M1, 1P1) / Toledo II & III | 1.9 TDI (Transverse 5-speed manual setups) | 90 - 105 hp / 66 - 77 kW | 1999 - 2010 |
| VW Caddy III Box / Estate (2KA, 2KB) | 1.9 TDI / 2.0 SDI | 70 - 105 hp / 51 - 77 kW | 2004 - 2010 |
⚠️ Critical Technical Application Check: During this production era, the Volkswagen Group utilized both 210mm and larger 219mm/220mm/228mm clutch setups for their 1.9-litre powerplants depending on torque output, transmission type (e.g., 5-speed vs 6-speed), and whether a Dual-Mass Flywheel (DMF) or Single-Mass Flywheel (SMF) was optioned from the factory. This **210mm kit** will NOT fit high-output versions (such as the 130hp or 150hp TDI variants) or platforms converted to an SMF solid flywheel system. Always check your exact engine code and gearbox code before installation.
