Description

Petrol 1.2GDI PURETECH EB2 Engine Timing Check Kit

Brief Overview

This is a precision-engineered timing lock kit designed specifically for the 1.2GDI PURETECH EB2 turbocharged petrol engine platform. The kit enables you to securely lock the camshaft in the correct position from the top of the engine (via the cam cover), allowing safe timing belt replacement and accurate timing verification. Built to the same exacting standards as specialist timing tools for similar Opel and Vauxhall petrol engines, this kit delivers the accuracy your shop needs to maintain customer confidence and reduce comebacks.

What's Inside

The kit contains five precision-machined components, each designed for a specific locking or alignment function:

  • Two Black Alignment Brackets – One features a forked lower section; the second is a cross-member plate. Both are marked with white branding (ASTA A-4GDI12) for easy identification and are CNC-machined for exact fitment to engine timing points.
  • Brass Locating Rod with Black Handle – A long alignment pin used to position the crankshaft or secondary timing references. The ergonomic black handle provides grip and control during insertion.
  • Circular Retainer Ring – A thin metal ring tool that secures or retains timing components during the locking sequence.
  • Hook-Shaped Pin – A small bent pin used as an alignment or retention aid during the timing lock procedure.
  • Hex/Allen Key – A compact hex key for any adjustment or securing operations during the timing process.

All components are housed in a professional blue hard plastic carrying case with a molded insert that protects each tool and keeps the kit organized in your workshop.

Why This Kit Matters for Your Business

Faster Belt Replacement
Once locked, technicians can confidently remove and replace the timing belt without fear of moving the camshaft. This speeds up job completion and reduces labor hours per vehicle.
