Hi all.

There must be someone out there who has got a diagram of how to install the trigger wheel to a 2.7 tdv6.

Yes I know I need the tool but I want to see if mine is totally In the wrong place so it gives me a little hope before taking gearbox out.

I set the hole on the trigger wheel in perfect centre of the crank signal sensor....... anyone ☺

And at what position did you align the trigger wheel in the crankshaft?

The tool only fits one way onto the crank, and attaches to the tool in only 1 way to ensure perfect alignment

Hi again ☺

I put the dot directly inline or in front of the sensor

Cheers Jon

Yes, and at what position was the crankshaft in when the ring was fitted

Hi Mike

It was locked out with timing kit. So tdc or set for cam belt

Thanks Jon

I do believe you have the trigger wheel approx 180 degrees out

Mike do u have the tool ? If so am I 180 degrees out being the perfect degrees ? If yes then I would take the gamble on doing it again but without the tool. Paying 200 odd quid for a piece of metal seems a little steep.

I got a 2 post spare ramp that this junk has been sat on for the last 6 months so it's not like it's in my way and taking a gamble with body off I'd rather save the 200 quid. I can get the body off in no time as I only parcially put it down.

3k in so every penny counts.

Thanks

Jon

I don't have the tool. From what I have seen, it sounds as though your trigger wheel is APPROX 180 degrees out.

If you are already £3k in, what is another £200?
You could always sell the tool on again, as a lot of people seem to have exactly the same issue
