Description

Engine Timing Kit for Vauxhall/Opel 1.3 CDTi Diesel – Camshaft Locking & Alignment Tools

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built timing control kit designed for professional technicians who service 1.3 CDTi diesel engines across the Vauxhall/Opel platform. The kit delivers the precision locking and alignment tools required to safely set and hold engine timing during camshaft service, head removal, and reassembly. If you also work on petrol variants, we offer timing control solutions for 1.0–1.4L petrol engines and comprehensive timing chain service kits for 2.0L diesel engines.

Key Features

  • Camshaft Locking Tool (A-CH13D): Secures the camshaft position during timing adjustment and service operations
  • Dual Locking Collars: Ring-style camshaft and crankshaft position holders for precise rotational control
  • Alignment Plate with Locating Holes: Multi-point positioning system ensures accurate timing mark alignment
  • Threaded Locating Bolts: Precision fasteners for secure fixture mounting and tension control
  • Hooked Wrench & Pin Tools: Specialized leverage and insertion tools for tight engine bay access
  • Rigid Carry Case with Foam Insert: Professional presentation and full tool protection during transport and storage
  • Clear Instruction Label: On-lid guidance for correct tool assembly and application

Business Advantages

Shop Profitability:

  • Positions your shop as equipped for diesel engine service work, a growing segment with higher labor rates than petrol work
  • Reduces job turnaround time by eliminating improvisation or secondary tool rental
  • Supports upsell opportunities: customers bringing in Corsa-E diesel vehicles for head work are likely to authorize full timing service

Distributor Value:

  • High-margin specialty kit with clear application to a defined vehicle platform (Opel Corsa-E 2015–2017 and compatible 1.3 CDTi engines)
  • Strong repeat demand from independent diesel specialists and franchise service centers
  • Complete-in-one packaging reduces support calls and returns

For shops servicing Vauxhall/Opel diesel fleets, this is essential infrastructure.
