Citroen Berlingo 2016 - Aftermarket clutch slave cylinder - Dave N

Looking for new slave cylinder to try and eliminate possible problem with notchy clutch pedal. It's quite possible it's not the slave, but it's the easiest/cheapest place to start.

But looking on Autodoc, there are a ton of aftermarket suppliers - some well know brands, many unknown. I doubt very much all of them, possibly none of them, actually manufacture the part. So how do I know which is actually the original brand, so I'm not replacing a possibly perfect original with a possible poor replacement? Parts listed are: Ridex, FTE, Valeo, Sachs, NTY, TRW, Febi, ABS, Samko, Brembo, Delphi, Ferodo, Cifam. Probably only one or two companies actually make the original part, and probably one one or two make all the off brands.

Valeo have been an OEM supplier to PSA for decades, they may even be part of the empire. All the others - no idea.

Thanks. They're about 22 quid aftermarket, so easier to go with genuine, especially as there are a couple of different part numbers.

That's what I figured, as most of the stuff on it is Valeo. Just curious about the rest. lol.

Other than being French they aren't related.
