Good To Know
Q: Will this set work for a 1.4L version of the same engine family? A: No, this set is specifically designed for 1.6L and 1.8L 16V engines. Using it on other displacements may lead to improper alignment.
Q: Can I use this with the timing belt still installed? A: It is recommended to install the locking tools before removing the old belt, which maintains the camshaft relationship. This helps ensure correct timing upon reassembly.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
