Why Shops Choose This Kit

Timing belt service on PSA 1.8/2.0 engines demands precision—incorrect alignment leads to bent valves, catastrophic engine damage, and expensive comebacks. This kit eliminates guesswork by providing dedicated locking pins that hold the camshaft and crankshaft in exact factory position while the belt is removed. The knurled spanner and pulley adapter prevent rounded or stripped bolt heads, which is the leading cause of timing tool failure in underfunded shops.

The included L-shaped alignment rods and locating bars are not improvised—they are engineered to match the bolt-hole geometry of these specific PSA engines. Shops that invest in a proper kit see faster installation times, zero alignment comebacks, and stronger labor margins due to reliability reputation.
