Laser 4936 Timing Tool Kit for Renault 1.6, 2.0, 2.3 DCI, Nissan

The Renault DCi 1.6, 2.0, and 2.3 diesel engines are equipped with a sophisticated chain drive system connecting the crankshaft to the exhaust camshaft, with a gear-driven inlet camshaft linked directly to the exhaust camshaft. This unique setup incorporates a split camshaft gear on the inlet side, which features two halves that are radially sprung apart. This design serves to reduce noise within the gear drive and effectively eliminate backlash, providing a smoother and quieter engine operation.

To ensure the correct timing of these engines, it is essential to remove the inlet camshaft gear prior to alignment. The process requires the use of a specialized inlet camshaft alignment tool included in the timing tool kit. This particular kit is designed for Renault’s 1.6 and 2.0L DCI chain drive diesel engines and is compatible with a variety of models including the Megane, Vel Satis, Espace, Scenic, Trafic, Laguna, and Koleos. The relevant engine codes include M9R, M9T, and R9M. Additionally, these engines are found in Nissan Qashqai models and certain Vauxhall/Opel Vivaro variants, as well as some Mercedes C-Class and Vito models, specifically those with engine codes 626.951 and 622.951.

The timing tool kit comes equipped with a vice-mounted inlet gear alignment tool for convenience during the setup procedure. Furthermore, it includes two crankshaft locking pins tailored to accommodate the specifications for the 1.6 DCi (designated Comp. G) and the 2.0 and 2.3 DCi models (designated Comp. F). Notably, the Component G crankshaft locking pin has been introduced for the later M9T 2.0 and R9M 1.6 DCi engines, ensuring compatibility across various engine iterations.

Engineered for durability and reliability, this timing tool kit is supplied in a robust metal storage case, making it an ideal addition for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts alike. The high-quality materials and precise engineering reflect a commitment to performance, ensuring that users can achieve optimal engine timing and efficiency.

With OEM codes including EN48334, EN48332, EN48331, and EN48330, this tool kit is manufactured in Sheffield, further guaranteeing that it meets industry standards for quality and performance. Whether maintaining existing engines or undertaking a rebuild, the Renault DCi timing tool kit stands out as an essential resource for effective engine service.
