Renault Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool for 1.8/2.0 16V Engines

Brief Overview

This camshaft sprocket locking tool is a specialized fixture designed specifically for Renault 1.8 and 2.0-liter 16-valve engines. It secures the camshaft sprocket in a fixed position during timing belt/chain service, allowing you to safely release sprocket bolts without risk of rotation or misalignment. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware, locator pins, and spacer rings to achieve proper alignment on both F4P and F4R engine families. If you service multiple Renault platforms, consider pairing this with a comprehensive timing control set for Renault engines to maximize your shop's capability across the full 1.2–2.0L range.

Key Features

Why This Tool Matters

Renault's F4P and F4R engines require absolute sprocket immobilization during service. Without this tool, sprockets can rotate during bolt removal, causing timing misalignment and costly comebacks. The dual locator pins and adjustable mounting slots guarantee repeatable, reliable positioning—critical for high-volume shops managing multiple customer vehicles.

Call to Value

Stock this tool to serve the Renault market segment effectively. Resellers who position engine-specific timing tools attract serious repair shops seeking reliability over generic alternatives. Pair with other Renault timing control solutions to create a complete timing service offering and maximize per-customer transaction value.
