Safety Instructions

WARNING! Ensure all health and safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are strictly adhered to when using tools.

• DO NOT use tools if damaged.
• Maintain tools in good and clean condition for best and safest performance.
• If required, ensure the vehicle to be worked on is adequately supported with axle stands, ramps and chocks.
• Wear approved eye protection. A full range of personal safety equipment is available from your Sealey dealer.
• Wear suitable clothing to avoid snagging. DO NOT wear jewellery and tie back long hair.
• Account for all tools, locking bolts, pins and parts being used and DO NOT leave them in or near the engine.

WARNING! DO NOT use locking pins to hold the crankshaft whilst releasing or tightening the pulley bolt. Locking pins are for retention of timing position only. Use an appropriate flywheel holding tool.

IMPORTANT: Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer's service instructions, or proprietary manual to establish the current procedure and data. These instructions for use are provided as a guide only.

Applications

Instructions for Use

4.1. Diesel Camshaft/Injection Pump Sprocket Locking

VS1250 'Sprocket MULTI-LOCK' Timing Device

VS1250 is designed to 'lock' twin camshafts, cam and/or injection pump sprockets on their timing marks to ensure the engine timing position is retained during timing belt removal/renewal. VS1250 is uniquely adjustable in size between sprockets to provide a parallel fit or, additionally, lateral/off-set positioning. The tool locates into the sprocket teeth giving a firm and secure 'lock'.

Once fitted securely into the teeth the 'MULTI-LOCK' is clamped in final position using the two special ratcheting lock handles (fig. 1). Their ratchet mechanism allows tightening in the often restricted area around the sprockets as well as providing the strong lever action required for firm locking.

Dependant upon application, the VS1250 'Sprocket MULTI-LOCK' is used complete, as a combined left and right hand plate between two sprockets, or is dis-assembled and the plates used singly. When using a single plate it fits into the teeth of the sprocket and bolts onto the engine to lock the injection pump sprocket.

On most Renault diesel engines the injection pump sprocket can be held on its timing mark by locking VS1250 onto the sprocket teeth. On J8S (2.1D/TD) engines the complete tool is used and timing positions are retained by locking in to both the camshaft and injection pump sprockets (fig.2).

For F8Q, F9Q (1.9D/TD) and G8T (2.2D/TD) diesels a single plate only is used, being positioned in the injection pump sprocket teeth and bolted to the engine in the place provided, to secure the timing position (fig.3).

A single plate can also be used to hold the injection pump sprocket firmly in place to release and tighten the pump/sprocket nut for timing/removal of the injection pump.

USAGE

• F8M & J8S engines: Complete 'MULTI-LOCK' VS1250
• F8Q/F9Q & G8T engines: Single plate from 'MULTI-LOCK'

NOTE: In addition to Renault models, F8Q 1.9D diesel engines are fitted in Mitsubishi Carisma, Vauxhall/Opel Arena and Volvo 440/460/S40/V40 models. See Application Chart, Section 3, for specific models.

VS1250 'Sprocket MULTI-LOCK' is also used for 'locking' camshafts on Twin Cam engines - see Twin Cam Engine Timing Tools - Section 4.5.

4.2. Engine Setting/Locking Tools

4.2.1. VS125/R1 and R2 Crankshaft TDC Locking Pins

Used on many Renault diesel and petrol engines, these pins enter datum holes in the engine casing and locate into crankshaft to lock engine at TDC (fig.4).

1. Rotate the engine in the normal direction of rotation and align all timing marks ensuring No.1 cylinder is at TDC.
2. Remove plug and insert locking pin to engage in the crankshaft datum hole.

IMPORTANT: Move crankshaft forwards and backwards slightly to be certain pin is inserted correctly.

USAGE

• F8Q, F9Q, diesel: VS125/R1
• F7P/F7R Twin Cams: VS125/R2
• G8T 2.2 diesel: VS125/R1

See Application Chart, Section 3, for specific models.

4.2.2. VS125/R3 and R4 Locking Pins

These locking pins are used as a pair to lock the crankshaft and injection pump on the Renault S8U/S9U diesel engines.

1. Pins enter through holes in sprockets into datum holes on the engine.
2. Ensure all timing marks are aligned and Pin R4 will locate through and lock crankshaft pulley (fig.5).
3. Pin R3 will lock the injection pump sprocket (fig.5).

NOTE: If crank pulley does not have a hole, insert pin in the flywheel.

USAGE

• S8U/S9U 2.5 diesel: VS125/R3 and R4

NOTE: For 2.8TD variants and where an Electronic Injection Pump is fitted it may be necessary to use VS125/R1 Pin for the crankshaft 'lock'.

WARNING! Locking pins must NOT be used to hold the crankshaft whilst releasing or tightening the pulley bolt. Locking pins are for retention of timing position only. Use an appropriate flywheel holding tool.

4.3. Flywheel Holding Tools/Sprocket Turning Tool

Associated tools

It may be necessary to remove the crankshaft pulley when replacing the timing belt. The pulley bolt has a high torque loading and the engine must be 'locked' safely with the correct Flywheel Holding Tool when releasing bolt.

• Use VS1283, VS1284 or VS1285 Holding Tools.
• For model/engine coverage see Application Chart - Section 3.
• Use VS169 for holding/turning cam/injection pump sprockets when releasing bolt and for aligning timing marks.

4.4. Tensioner Adjustment Tools

Belt tensioning procedures are critical and the manufacturer's procedure MUST be followed. These procedures often require a tensioning tool to adjust the tensioner itself.

VS125/T3 and VS1251 Tensioner Adjusters

VS125/T3 Adjuster is required on petrol and diesel applications to allow tension to be applied to the tensioner/belt. It is screwed into threaded hole in rear upper timing cover to push the tensioner and apply tension to the belt (fig.6).

VS1251 Tensioner Adjuster turns the belt tensioner to apply correct tension. This specialised wrench locates into two holes on the tensioner on Renault petrol engines and variants of J8S and S8U diesel engines (fig.7).

USAGE

• F8Q 1.9 diesel: VS125/T3
• F7P Twin Cams: VS125/T3
• E7, J7, petrol: VS125/T3
• D7F 1.2 petrol: VS1251
• J8S.760, S8U.8144 diesel: VS1251

See Application Chart, Section 3, for specific models.

4.5. Twin Cam Engine Timing Tools

VS1250 'MULTI-LOCK' Timing Device

In addition to diesel engine applications, the unique VS1250 'Sprocket MULTI-LOCK' is also used to 'lock' twin camshaft engine sprockets in their timed positions during timing belt replacement (fig.9). On these Renault 1.8 and 2.0 16v (i.e. F7P/F7R) engines, the timing marks are aligned and the 'MULTI-LOCK' is placed between the cam sprockets, expanded to engage into the teeth of both sprockets and tightened firmly in position to retain the timing positions.

These engines also use VS125/R1 Crank TDC Lock Pin and VS125/T3 Tensioner Adjuster.

USAGE

• F7P/F7R Twin Cam: VS1250 'MULTI-LOCK', VS125/R1 & VS125/T3

See Application Chart, Section 3, for specific models.
