Product Information

Full details

This Laser Tools kit (MPN 7120) is designed for professional mechanics and serious DIYers working on specific 1.4L and 1.6L 16-valve VVT systems in Citroën, Peugeot, and MINI vehicles. Its key benefit is enabling the safe and efficient removal and refitting of intermediate shaft control springs, a critical task that can be difficult and time-consuming without the correct tools. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, meaning it's only applicable to a defined range of engines and vehicles.

FAQs

What vehicles are covered by this kit?

This kit covers specific 1.4L and 1.6L 16-valve engines found in MINI (N12, N16, N18 engines) and Citroën/Peugeot (EP6, EP6CDT engines) models. Please refer to the product description for a detailed list of compatible models and engine codes.

Is this tool kit suitable for all VVT systems?

No, this kit is highly specialized and designed only for the specific VVT intermediate shaft control springs on the listed 1.4L and 1.6L 16-valve engines from MINI, Citroën, and Peugeot. It is not a universal VVT tool.

What is the main purpose of this tool?

The primary purpose is to safely and effectively remove and refit the intermediate shaft control springs within the VVT system on compatible engines. This is a critical step during tasks like timing chain replacement.

Do I need any other tools to use this kit?

While this kit covers the specific spring removal and installation, a comprehensive VVT system service may require additional tools, such as a timing tool kit. For timing tools, please see Laser Part No. 6814.

How do I ensure I use the tool safely?

Always consult the relevant OEM service manual for the exact procedure. Ensure the tool is properly seated on the spring and apply force smoothly and controllably. Never force the tool.

What are the OEM equivalent part numbers for this kit?

The tools in this kit are equivalent to BMW OEM 11 9 570, 11 9 571, 11 9 572, and 11 9 573; and PSA OEM codes 0197-3B1 and 0197-3B2.

How should I clean and store the tools?

Clean the tools with a soft cloth after use to remove grease and debris. Store them in their original case or a secure tool storage solution to prevent damage and loss.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not fit spring correctly

Verify that the vehicle and engine code are listed in the kit's compatibility list. Ensure you are using the correct tool from the kit for the specific spring type.

Difficulty compressing or releasing spring

Ensure the tool is fully engaged with the spring and positioned correctly as per OEM instructions. Apply steady, controlled force. Do not force the tool.

Spring appears to be damaged during removal

This may indicate improper tool engagement or excessive force. Always follow OEM procedures and use the tool as intended. Inspect spring and surrounding components for damage.
