DPTOOL Timing Tool Kit for BMW Mini Cooper N12–N18 – Complete Cam & Crank Locking Set

DPTOOL Engine Timing Tool Kit for BMW Mini Cooper N12/N13/N14/N16/N18 is a complete camshaft and crankshaft locking set designed to hold timing positions accurately while replacing the timing belt on compatible MINI and PSA engines.

This professional-grade timing tool kit is built for mechanics and experienced DIYers working on BMW MINI Cooper engines (N12, N13, N14, N16, N18) and related PSA applications. It groups all necessary fixtures in a hard plastic carry case so you can lock the twin camshafts, align crank timing, and perform belt or component replacements without juggling multiple separate kits. The tools are CNC-machined from high-strength steel to OEM-equivalent tolerances for secure, repeatable positioning during service.

Which engines and vehicles will this kit fit?

This kit is engineered specifically for BMW N12, N13, N14, N16 and N18 engine families and covers MINI COOPER applications across several model years. It also lists compatibility with some Citroën and Peugeot engines that share the same PSA EP3/EP6 timing architecture. Always cross-check engine code and service manual before ordering.

• MINI COOPER: R55 (2007), R56 (2006–2007; from 2011 Cooper S variants), R57, R60 (2010–2011 Cooper S)
• Engine codes: N13 B16A; N18 B16A; N18 B16C; N18 B16A/MO; N18 B16C/TO
• PSA: Citroën C4/C4 Picasso, Peugeot 207/308 with EP3, EP6, EP6DT/DTS engines
• OEM reference replacements: 117440, 119340, 119590, 196709

How does this kit make timing belt replacement easier?

The DPTOOL kit secures both camshafts and the crank so timing alignment is maintained while you remove and refit the belt. That stability reduces risk of misalignment, saves time compared with improvised locking methods, and helps prevent engine damage caused by incorrect timing during reassembly. Tools sit in pre-cut foam for quick selection and organized workflow.

• Positive camshaft locking pins prevent rotation during belt removal and installation
• Crank alignment tool ensures TDC positioning for accurate timing marks
• Comprehensive set eliminates need to buy multiple separate kits for the same engine family
• Durable case keeps parts protected and portable between jobs

What build quality and standards can I expect?

DPTOOL manufactures this timing kit to OEM-equivalent dimensions with attention to material strength and finish. Pieces are made from heavy-duty steel to provide high hardness and long life under workshop conditions. The company backs the kit with a 12-month warranty and offers replacement or refund if defects are found.

• CNC-machined components for tight tolerances and repeatable fit
• High-strength steel construction for durability under torque and stress
• Plastic storage case with custom slots for organization and transport
• 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects

What should I check before using this kit on my car?

Confirm your engine code and service manual match the listed compatibilities, and inspect timing marks before locking any components. Use the proper sequence and torque specifications from the vehicle manufacturer when installing the belt and re-assembling engine parts. If unsure, consult a professional technician to avoid costly mistakes.

• Verify engine family (N12/N13/N14/N16/N18) and model year fitment
• Follow OEM procedures for cam/crank locking order and torque values
• Check condition of belt, tensioner, and other timing components while disassembled
• Keep the kit clean and store in the case to preserve tool accuracy

Who is this for: The DPTOOL Engine Timing Tool Kit is suited to professional mechanics, independent garages, and experienced DIY enthusiasts who service BMW MINI Cooper engines or compatible PSA units. Choose this set if you need an all-in-one, durable cam and crank locking solution that mirrors OEM tooling and helps streamline timing belt jobs across multiple engine variants.
