The part is built to the following specification: Fitting Position: VU, Diameter [mm]: 38, Copper mm, Weight [kg]: 0, 314 kg, Cone Size [mm]: Composite mm, Supplementary Article/Info 2: 664. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. Compatible with RENAULT, SMART vehicles; use the vehicle selector above to confirm exact fitment for your make, model, and engine variant. Fitment data is sourced from TecDoc, the authoritative European parts catalogue. This part supersedes original equipment references: 0405770, 39769 01, 453 330 29 00*, 453 330 30 00* and 13 more. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function.
