I think you will find the more work you do on your car your tool collection will grow as needed. The sears kits are good general assortments. They usually include 1/4-3/8-1/2 in drives. You may need to get additional sockets for glow plugs and injectors. Also a metric combonation wrench set. You dont have to buy top of the line tools but good quality tools will make the jobs easier.

tools:
Craftsman set as mentioned above {metric}
Full range of screwdrivers. Combination wrench set 8mm-19mm and add 24mm for deisel fuel filter. 4mm long punch for brakes. 14mm allen socket {sears don't have it} Circuit tester. Creeper Jack Set of jack stands. Safety glass's. Manuals.Haynes,cd, factory. in that order. Factory are best. As post above suggest. Buy as you need. Spend the money on parts. And then tools. There are a few special tools. Buy as needed. Charlie |
