Is this Volvo timing/cam tool kit usable for FL2 3,2 i6? | |
Hi all,
1/:
While I am shopping parts, it would occur to me, that I need some tools.
I've been looking at fleabay etc, and this Volvo kit comes up in many almost identical sets. It does not say it is usable for Land Rover Freelander 2 3,2 i6 though. The kit mentioning that FL2 i6 engine have fewer parts.
This is an example of the tool kit for the Volvo SI6 engine:

Sorry for the long link...
Or this one, that seems to be the same, just in a red box and from the UK (still import tax and the lot):

I am aware of what most parts does, but not all of them.
I've been watching the Volvo Guy videos but that engine is pure Volvo Engine SI6.
2/:
Also, The seal behind the lower pulley for the belt needs a tool that does install the lip the right way round, so I will not use a normal 28mm socket, as it flips the seal and it will not be oil tight.
Any idea of where to get that? Or tool number from Volvo? Or Land Rover?
It is the one that slides forth and back and have a removable cone in nylon to slip on the seal to the tool. Then you remove the cone and install the seal in the outer timing chain cover.
This seems to be the Volvo tool part number:
9997265.
Looking at that tool, it's different from any other tool I've seen, which all use the nylon cone I mentioned.
Here is a picture of the tool I've seen used, but cannot find for sale:
okay, picture uploading does not work, as it keeps getting my older pics.
Or maybe the tool from Volvo is the right one, it's just reversed and the cone is covered by the outer metal part?
Hmm...
3/:
Further: Do I also need the ac compressor alignment tool? volvo 9997262
Any other hints most appreciated.
Kind regards,
