FAQs

What vehicles is this kit compatible with?

This kit is designed for Vauxhall/Opel and Saab vehicles fitted with 1.9D CDTi/TiD/TTiD or 2.0D CDTi diesel engines.

What are the main tools included in the kit?

The kit includes essential tools such as camshaft setting tools, a crankshaft locking tool, and a tensioner pin.

Is this kit suitable for petrol engines?

No, this kit is specifically for the diesel engines mentioned in its compatibility list and is not suitable for petrol engines.

Do I need any other tools for a timing belt replacement?

While this kit provides the specialized setting and locking tools, you will likely need standard mechanic's tools (wrenches, sockets, etc.) and a new timing belt kit (belt, tensioner, idler, water pump if applicable) as detailed in your vehicle's service manual.

How should I store the kit?

The kit comes with a dedicated storage case designed to keep all the tools organized and protected. Store it in a clean, dry environment.

Can this kit be used for engine diagnostics?

Primarily, this kit is for timing belt replacement. While engine timing is critical for diagnostics, the kit itself does not perform diagnostic functions.

What is the benefit of using a locking tool?

The crankshaft locking tool ensures the crankshaft remains stationary and in the correct timed position during belt replacement, preventing accidental rotation and potential engine damage.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not fit crankshaft or camshaft.

Double-check that the tool is the correct one for the specific engine variant and that it is being inserted in the correct orientation. Ensure no obstructions are present.

Difficulty in locking the crankshaft.

Ensure the engine is at the correct Top Dead Center (TDC) position as specified in the workshop manual. The locking tool should slide in smoothly when aligned correctly.

Camshaft tools do not hold camshafts securely.

Verify that the camshafts are in the correct timed position and that the tools are fully engaged. If the camshaft sprockets have multiple alignment holes, ensure you are using the correct one.

Case latch is difficult to close.

Ensure all tools are placed correctly within their designated spots in the case. Overcrowding or incorrect placement can cause the case to warp slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • This kit is specifically designed for 1.9D CDTi/TiD/TTiD and 2.0D CDTi diesel engines.

Setup:

  1. Consult your vehicle's workshop manual for the correct timing belt replacement procedure.
  2. Identify the appropriate camshaft setting tools and the crankshaft locking tool for your engine.
  3. Carefully insert the locking tool into the designated position on the crankshaft.
  4. Use the camshaft setting tools to lock the camshafts in their correct timed positions.
