Troubleshooting
Tool does not fit camshaft/crankshaft.
Verify the engine model and year match the kit's specifications (VAG/Ford TDi PD 1.4/1.9, 2000-2010). Ensure you are attempting to fit the correct tool for the specific component (camshaft, crankshaft, tensioner).
Difficulty in achieving correct belt tension.
Ensure the camshaft and crankshaft are correctly locked in their timing positions before tensioning. Consult the vehicle's specific repair manual for the correct tensioner adjustment procedure and specifications.
Stuck or seized tensioner adjustment.
This is likely an issue with the engine's tensioner component itself, not the tool. Attempting to force the tool may cause damage. Inspect the tensioner mechanism for corrosion or damage; replacement may be necessary.
