Can anyone tell by the look if this is genuine Valeo clutch which is refurbished by Valeo themselves in Italy

Looks genuine enough to me

Thnx, I'm hoping for more commments, littlepip17 told me that there should be some Italian words on it marking which side is which, but I havent found it...info only, this clutch costs 85 EUR here

I'm sick of Turkish parts people put on their cars, I hope to avoid them, especially if its something like clutch

Valeo, although it is a French company, runs a lot of subsidiaries located throughout Europe and even overseas (I think Mexico, Brazil etc.). I can imagine that the Valeo clutches made specifically for Fiat factories (or maybe in Italian subsidiary, if there is such) have marking in Italian, however, I think that a genuine Valeo clutch made in e.g. Spain can have the marking in other language.

After all, the genuine LUK clutch I fitted to my late Uno had markings in English, no matter that LUK is a German company

85 EUR is very good price, complete genuine Valeo set for my 55 is about 100 - 120 EUR where I live.

Do not worry - the worst thing that can happen is that you will have to buy another set and go through the whole ordeal of gearbox removal/fitting again :devil:
