VS1012 Setting/Locking Tool Kit covers timing belt replacement applications on Ford 1.8 diesels (including Di Endura) and 1.25, 1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 & 2.0 petrol twin cam (Zetec) 16v. engines in Ford cars and car-derived vans.

Ford DIESEL engines - 1.8D/TD/Di
These Ford 1.8D/TD/Di diesel engines use a common Crankshaft TDC Location Pin (VS101/2). Up to 1996, 1.8 diesels used Locking Pins to retain the timing position of both the camshaft and injection pump. From 1996 the pin retaining the camshaft was replaced by a Setting Plate (VS115/01), which locates into a slot in the end of the camshaft.

WARNING! These timing tools must NOT be used to counterhold the crank or camshaft for removing/releasing pulleys or sprockets. They are for retention of timing positions only. Use the appropriate holding tool.
4.1.1. VS101/2 Crankshaft TDC Location Pin This is designed to screw into the cylinder block and provide a stop, against which the crank web is positioned to set TDC.
1. Turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation until the slot in the injection pump sprocket is approx. in the 11 o’clock position.
2. Remove the plug from the cylinder block access hole and screw in VS101/2 - fig. 1.
3. Slowly and carefully turn the crankshaft clockwise until the crankshaft web rests on the Locking Pin. No.1 cylinder is now set at TDC on the ignition stroke.
4.1.2. VS115/01 Camshaft Setting Plate On Ford 1.8 diesel engines,1996 onwards, VS115/01 Setting Plate is used to accurately align an off-centre datum slot in the end of the camshaft with the top face of the camshaft housing, to hold the camshaft in the timed position - fig. 2. A notch is designed into the Setting Plate to accommodate the raised part of the housing.
