Description

Camshaft Adjustment Socket Set for TFSI/TSI Engines

Brief Overview

This is a precision 3-piece camshaft adjustment socket kit designed for controlled removal of camshaft control valves on TFSI and TSI petrol engines without requiring timing chain removal. The set covers the full range of VAG applications spanning Audi, Volkswagen, Seat, and Skoda models from 2007–2013. If your shop handles higher-displacement FSI engines, consider pairing this with a specialized Audi RS4/A6 camshaft adjuster for complete coverage across your VAG service department.

Key Features

  • Three precision-engineered adapter sockets – Each socket features a central square drive recess (for standard ratchet connection) and dual locating pins for secure camshaft alignment
  • Chain-in-place removal – Eliminates the need to disassemble timing chains, reducing labor time and re-timing complexity
  • Multi-finish construction – Three different zinc-plated and nickel-plated finishes for easy socket identification and differentiation between engine types
  • Broad VAG compatibility – Covers 1.8L and 2.0L TFSI/TSI engine variants across multiple manufacturers and model generations
  • Direct application support – Pre-engineered for specific engine codes (BYT, BZB, CABA, CABB, CABD, CAWB, CB)

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-margin diagnostic tool – This is a specialty service kit with limited competition; customers must have it to service VAG TFSI/TSI engines correctly
  • Labor-hour savings translate to customer loyalty – Shops using this tool reduce camshaft valve service time significantly compared to full chain removal procedures
  • Repeat customer base – TFSI/TSI engines dominate VAG product lines 2007–2013; every shop servicing these marques will need this tool
  • Essential for transmission and fuel system work – Many VAG fuel injection diagnostics require valve removal; this tool is a prerequisite
  • Volume sales potential – One kit per shop, but shops typically stock multiples for simultaneous jobs

Why Resellers Should Stock This

This socket set is non-negotiable for any shop claiming VAG specialist credentials. The three-adapter design ensures compatibility across the entire 1.8L/2.0L TFSI/TSI lineup without field substitutions or workarounds. The chain-in-place removal capability eliminates one of the most labor-intensive aspects of fuel injection service, making it a key profit driver for shops that service Audi, VW, Seat, or Skoda vehicles.

Pair this with a timing tool set for VAG engines to offer your customers a complete camshaft service package.
