Maximum performance is our driving force

Motor

Belt drive component

Belt drive component
Vibrations and irregular revolutions at the crankshaft together with thermal loads place extreme strain on the timing gear and auxiliary drive. These components therefore need to be examined closely during servicing.

RUVILLE offers all components necessary for changing the timing gear, including:
• Tensioning pulleys
• Idler pulleys
• Tensioning pulley kits and sets

RUVILLE offers top quality repair solutions for the auxiliary drive:
• Hydraulic and mechanical tensioning units
• Overrunning alternator pulleys
• Crankshaft dampers
• Various kits for the auxiliary drive

Chain drive components

Chain drives in modern vehicles stand out by needing practically no maintenance, and usually guarantee an extremely long service life. However, premature failure is still possible in vehicles with high mileage or inadequate maintenance and care. Problems will make themselves known by rattling while the engine is running or loud clattering during cold starting. Now, at the latest, is the time to change all components in the chain drive.

RUVILLE offers all components necessary for changing the chain drive, including:
• Timing chain
• Chain tensioner
• Timing chain sprocket
• Guides and tensioner guides
• Complete kits

Valve gear components/ camshafts

Today, modern engines by practically all manufacturers usually have the valve gear components in the cylinder head. Exceptions are to be found only in heavy-duty HGV diesel engines.

Our latest product in this area consists of the camshaft kit for 2.5l V6 TDI engines made by Volkswagen for numerous VW and Audi models. All kits contain the components necessary for repairs to the system. Our corresponding water pump kit is then all you need for professional repairs.

We offer a wide range of products for repairing these systems:
• Camshafts
• Camshaft kits
• Mechanical bucket tappets
• Hydraulic bucket tappets
• Rocker arms with plug-in elements
• Cam followers with supporting elements

Waterpumps

Water pumps
Streamlined design, perfectly sealed and mounted: these are the crucial criteria for quality water pumps by RUVILLE. Increasingly, we use top quality plastic for the impellers as this reduces cavitation susceptibility. The water pump must be mounted in accordance with the specific application. The solution can consist of ball and ball or roller and ball bearings. A mechanical shaft seal seals the cooling circuit off from the atmosphere and has to withstand heat as well as pressure of up to 1.5 bar.

We offer well thought-out repair solutions ideal for the garage:
• 160 water pump kits containing the water pump together with the timing  belt,tension rollers and idler rollers
• Water pump kits with thermostat for around 55 engines by Audi, VW and Opel

Tip: if the water pump is located in the engine timing gear, it should also be replaced when changing the timing belt to prevent subsequent repairs.

Chassis

Chassis components

Chassis components

All components in a vehicle's wheel suspension and steering systems have to withstand extreme loads both on and off the road. The chassis is a complex system that has to function with smooth precision. Mechanics need to pay particular attention to these components which are highly relevant to vehicle safety.

We offer the right spare parts and top quality kits for all current chassis components:

Support joints, track control arms, stabilising coupling rods, axial joints, tie rod ends, steering boot sets and strut mountings – our programme covers more than 4,000 parts.

Engine and transmission suspension

Engine and transmission suspension
While in the past, rubber/metal parts were used for suspension of the drive system, today hydraulic solutions are used almost exclusively for this purpose. They are capable of variable reaction to the vibrations occurring at various revs and speeds. Partly fitted with electronic actuators, they can be tuned individually to the vibration behaviour of the specific engine in combination with the bodywork. Softer bearings are needed when idling, and harder bearings when running under load. Modern hydraulic bearings are adapted to the specific application, considerably increasing the vehicle's comfort characteristics.

Our programme includes complex suspension elements for practically all European and Asian vehicles.

wheel bearing system

Wheel bearing system

Low-maintenance, reliable connections are required between the fixed steering knuckle and the rotating hub units. Modern wheel bearings are therefore complex components that stand out with long life lubrication and preadjusted bearing clearance. However, in some cases it is important to heed the correct installation position when fitting ultra-modern new-generation wheel bearings.

 

These is where our detector card comes in: it is ideal for precise installation of 1^st and 1T generation wheel bearing types with integrated multi-pole encoder ring. If a bearing is incorrectly fitted, the safety-relevant ABS/ESP system won't work properly. And once a wheel bearing has been pressed in incorrectly, it cannot then be fitted the right way round. Use of the detector card minimises corresponding workload in the garage and prevents unnecessary follow-up costs.

Drive shafts & wheel joints

Reliability and constant velocity in power transmission and durability of the drive elements are important criteria for comfort and safety. Even small tears in the bellows cause grease leaks and allow dirt to enter into the joint. Failure to discover this early on leads to transmission failure in next-to-no time.

Our wide range of wheel joints, bellows sets and complete drive shafts covers all current vehicles.
