Crankshaft Locking Tool for BMW N47 Diesel Engine Timing

A crankshaft locking tool for BMW N47 diesel engines, used to hold the crankshaft in the correct timing position during engine work. It is required when replacing one or both timing chains and is also used when checking chain stretch.

Used for engine timing jobs, servicing and repair work, this tool suits workshops, engine specialists and experienced mechanics carrying out BMW diesel maintenance. It helps when timing chain replacement is needed, and it can also be used to measure chain stretch without dismantling the whole engine, which is useful when diagnosing wear before more involved repair work begins. As well as BMW N47 applications, it is also relevant for equivalent PSA engines and Toyota Verso 1WW fitments where stated.

Applicable to BMW N47 1.6 and 2.0 litre diesel engines from 2013, this tool covers a wide range of listed engine codes, making it useful when working across different vehicle variants. The fitment detail includes 1.6 engine codes N47 C16U1, C16K1, C16A/U1, D16C and D16, plus 2.0 engine codes including N47 C20K1, C20U1, C20A/K1, D20B/D/T0, D20C/K1, D20C, D20C/U1, D20C/O1, D20D, D20D/T1, D20O1, D20C/O, D20A, D20C/01 and D20U0.
