Timing Tool Kit for Renault/Nissan/Mercedes-Benz 1.3L Petrol Engines – Camshaft Locking & Alignment
Brief Overview
This precision timing locking kit is engineered for 1.3L double-camshaft petrol engine work across the Renault, Nissan, and Mercedes-Benz platforms. Whether you're replacing timing chains, performing valve timing adjustments, or managing complex engine overhauls, this kit provides the mechanical control needed to lock camshaft positions safely and prevent costly misalignment errors. The three-piece tool set comes in a durable molded carrying case, making it an essential addition to any shop's timing tool inventory. For shops servicing diesel variants, consider pairing this with timing tools for Renault diesel engines to expand your engine coverage.

Operational Notes
Installation & Positioning: Each tool is shaped to engage specific engine landmarks (camshaft lobes, crankshaft features, or cylinder head bosses). The machined aluminum plate with bushings acts as the primary camshaft immobilizer; the cast brackets provide secondary location and load distribution.
Engine-Specific Calibration: This kit is designed exclusively for the 1.3L double-cam platforms listed. Do not attempt use on single-cam or 4-valve-per-cylinder variants without verification.
Service Life: Cast steel components and machined surfaces maintain dimensional accuracy across hundreds of timing operations when stored properly in the supplied case.
Why Stock This Kit
Timing chain service is non-negotiable work in modern European shops. The 1.3L petrol segment—spanning Renault's entire affordable range (Captur, Clio), Nissan's crossover lineup (Qashqai), and Mercedes-Benz's compact urban fleet (A-Class/B-Class)—represents significant shop volume. Without this kit, technicians cannot safely lock camshaft timing during chain replacement, forcing jobs to external specialists or other shops.
This tool pays for itself in 2–3 jobs and positions your shop as capable of handling premium service work on popular, high-volume platforms. Bulk purchasing ensures you always have a backup set on the shelf—eliminating lost revenue from timing-chain delays.
Stock this kit today and capture the recurring timing-service margin across three major European OEM families.
