## 📋 Kit Contents

-   1 × complete electromagnetic compressor clutch assembly - 23285069

## 🔌 Function

The clutch magnetically locks the supercharger to its drive during low-speed acceleration, then disengages to reduce parasitic load after turbocharger boost increases.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Poor low-speed acceleration and black smoke
-   Clutch does not engage despite correct electrical supply
-   Clutch slips, squeals or overheats
-   Incorrect shim stack or air gap
-   Compressor remains engaged when it should release

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Fit every part supplied in the kit and do not mix new parts with used ones — the kit is made up so that the wearing items are renewed together
-   Keep friction faces clean and free of oil, grease and fingerprints, and clean any assembly grease off the parts that must run dry
-   Inspect the mating drive components before assembly for scoring, heat discolouration, cracks and wear ridges; a clutch will not last if it is fitted against a damaged driving face
-   Where the kit includes shims or spacers, set the clearance or air gap to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine and record what you fitted
-   Renew any locking fasteners, tighten in the sequence and to the figures the manual gives, and bring the drive into use gently for the first period of running
