Genuine Renault Crankshaft Locking Pin - Clio 16S & Williams

The Essential Tool to Protect Your F7P and F7R Engine

Maintaining an icon like the Renault Clio Williams or Clio 16S leaves no room for improvisation. Using approximate tools during a timing belt replacement is the surest way to risk costly engine failure. Without this official Renault locking pin, you lose the certainty of perfect timing, which can lead to performance loss or definitive valve damage.

Why Choose Genuine Renault Sport Tools?

Unlike generic universal tools that often lack precision, this crankshaft locking pin (OEM reference) is manufactured from high-strength steel calibrated to the hundredth. It fits perfectly into the engine block to lock the crankshaft at Top Dead Center (TDC), ensuring your timing adjustment strictly follows factory technical data.

Risks of Working Without the Proper Locking Pin:

• Timing Misalignment: Risk of collision between pistons and valves.
• Engine Instability: Poor combustion cycle and loss of engine power.
• Premature Wear: Incorrect belt tension due to lack of reliable timing marks.
