FAQs
What engine codes does this kit cover?

Are these genuine OEM tools?
No, these are equivalent to OEM tools. They are designed to perform the same function as OEM 303-1328, 303-1329, and 303-1330 but are manufactured by Laser Tools.
Can this kit be used on petrol engines?
No, this kit is specifically designed for the 2.2 diesel engines mentioned in the product description. It is not suitable for petrol engines or other diesel engine variants.
Where are these tools made?
The tools in this kit are made in Sheffield, UK.
What is the main purpose of these tools?
The main purpose is to accurately check, hold, and lock the balance shafts during engine timing procedures on compatible diesel engines.
How do I know if I need this kit?
You will need this kit if you are performing maintenance on the timing belt or other related engine components on a vehicle model and engine code listed in the product's compatibility information, and the procedure requires manipulating or locking the balance shafts.
What happens if I don't lock the balance shafts correctly?
Failure to correctly lock or time the balance shafts can lead to severe engine damage, including incorrect engine timing, poor running, loss of power, and potentially catastrophic internal component failure.
Troubleshooting
Tools do not fit correctly.
Double-check that the vehicle's engine code and model year are within the specified compatibility range. Ensure you are using the correct tool for the specific step in the procedure.
Balance shaft does not lock securely.
Confirm the engine is at the correct TDC position. Ensure no debris is obstructing the balance shaft or the tool's seating points. Verify you are using the correct OEM equivalent tool for locking.
Difficulty in removing the tool after use.
Ensure all locking bolts or mechanisms on the tool are fully released. Gently tap the tool with a rubber mallet if it seems seized, but avoid excessive force which could damage the tool or engine components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Before use, verify that your vehicle's engine code matches one of the specified types: Ford Q4BA and Q4WA (2.2 diesel) or JLR & PSA DW12 (2.2 diesel). This includes specific models like the Ford Galaxy, SMAX, Mondeo, Land Rover Freelander II, and Range Rover Evoque within the listed production years.
Setup: The tools are designed for direct application on the engine. Ensure the engine is at the correct TDC (Top Dead Center) position as per the vehicle's service manual before applying the locking tools. The kit requires no electronic setup; it's a mechanical assembly.
Care: After use, clean each tool thoroughly with a degreaser and a lint-free cloth. Store the tools in their original packaging or a dedicated toolbox to prevent damage and loss. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive environments to maintain the tool's integrity. Regular inspection for wear or damage is recommended.
