Valve Spring Compressor for Peugeot and Citroën Engines
Brief Overview
This is a model-specific valve spring compressor plate engineered for Peugeot and Citroën four-cylinder engines from the 1990s and early 2000s. The tool relieves tension on the camshaft created by valve spring pressure, allowing safe removal and reinstallation of timing belt components. If you service multiple Peugeot/Citroën platforms, you may also want to consider adjustable jaw compressors for broader engine compatibility or multi-valve spring solutions for shops handling varied OHV and OHC applications.
Key Features
- Eight hex-headed studs positioned to engage valve locations across supported engine designs
- Rigid metal plate construction with matte finish for durability and corrosion resistance
- Dual mounting holes at plate extremities for secure engine block or head attachment
- Included plastic knobs/caps for hand tightening without additional tools
- Model-specific geometry optimized for Peugeot 106, 205, 306, 307, 405, Partner and Citroën Berlingo, AX, Xsara lineups
Business Advantages
For shops specializing in French automotive service, this tool addresses a gap in your valve train service inventory. Rather than improvising or sourcing generic solutions, a dedicated Peugeot/Citroën compressor reduces labor time and eliminates guesswork during timing belt work. Stock depth in this specific application builds customer confidence and supports repeat service business on popular models that remain common in European workshops.

Technical Notes
This compressor functions by distributing load across all valve locations simultaneously, preventing uneven stress on the camshaft during valve spring removal. The hex-headed studs engage directly with valve spring perches, allowing controlled tension release as the plate is gradually tightened against the engine head. Proper use requires the tool to be mounted parallel to the engine head surface to avoid binding.
Value Proposition
Mechanics working on Peugeot and Citroën timing belt jobs know that improvised spring relief methods increase risk of valve damage and extended downtime. This dedicated tool eliminates that risk and demonstrates professional capability to customers. For distributors, it addresses a specific market segment with minimal inventory footprint—high margin, low volume, essential for shops claiming full French automotive service capability.
