Technical Help for Comfortmatic clutch repairing

[Comfortmatic in rv]

The clutch and gearbox work still at least almost normally, but the car weighs over 5 tons and has been driven over 120k, so I'm considering overhauling the clutch before problems arise.

I would like to install an updated clutch so that in the future I don't have to worry about plastic chips causing problems.
One repair shop said that they have installed SACHS clutches without any problems.
However, one expert repair shop said that problems would arise over time with clutches other than the original LUK, because they are not self-adjusting.

I was thinking of doing the repair in my backyard, so can I "teach" the new clutch plate using MES? I have no previous experience with Multiecuscan.

Do you have any experiences or advice to share?

Yes, MES can initiate build-in calibration functions in Comfortmatic.
If you download MES free version and run it in simulation mode, you can see which these functions are and read the help texts.
There was s discussion about the mechanical self-adjustment in the LUK pressure plate vs SACHS in a German panel van forum a couple of years ago, but I don’t remember the conclusion. There are a number of users there who have changed to SACHS and written positive reports about it.

Thank you very much for the good answer!

I received information that the LuK clutch had been updated and based on the pictures on their website, this seems to be the case. So I ordered the LuK RepSet kit and it arrived yesterday. However, contrary to the pictures, it still has the plastic parts that caused the problems, so I sent the manufacturer a query.

That is encouraging information, that there are good experiences with SACHS clutches, so it might be wiser to install it. I also need to buy MES, so I can take control of the situation.
