Troubleshooting
Tools do not fit correctly
Verify the engine code (BMW B57 D30) and manufacturing year (from 2015 onwards) of the vehicle. Ensure the correct OEM equivalent tool is being used for the specific engine component.
Difficulty locking crankshaft/camshaft
Ensure the engine is precisely at the specified timing mark (e.g., TDC) as per the vehicle's service manual. Confirm no debris is obstructing the tool's insertion point.
