VVT Spring Tool for BMW Mini Citroen Peugeot 1.4 1.6 16V

A VVT spring tool used for removing and refitting intermediate shaft control springs on selected BMW Mini, Citroen and Peugeot petrol engines. It is made for 1.4 and 1.6 16V applications where these springs need to be handled safely and with better control during engine work.

Used during VVT system servicing and repair, this application tool helps when working on timing-related engine jobs where the control springs need to come off and go back on correctly. It suits workshop servicing as well as more involved home garage repairs on compatible MINI and PSA vehicles, including jobs on Mini One, Clubman, Countryman, Coupe, Paceman and Roadster models, along with Citroen C3 Picasso, C4, C4 Picasso, C5, DS3, DS4, DS5 and Peugeot 207, 208, 3008, 308, 5008, 508 and RCZ.

Matched to the relevant engine families, the tool fits BMW engine codes N12, N16 and N18, plus PSA EP6CDT and EP6 engines. That makes it a more straightforward option when the job calls for the correct VVT spring removal and refit tool rather than trying to manage awkward spring handling by hand. The OEM-equivalent references help confirm application for the intended engines, which is useful when carrying out regular maintenance or repair work and wanting the right tool ready for the job.
