Camshaft Alignment Tool Set for VW T5, Touareg & Phaeton – 5 & 10 Cylinder TDI Engines

Brief Overview

This is a specialized timing and camshaft alignment tool set engineered for precision work on Volkswagen Group diesel engines. Designed for VW T5 Transporter, Touareg, and Phaeton models with 2.5 and 4.9 TDI PD powerplants, this set eliminates guesswork during cam timing procedures and ensures proper engine synchronization on every job. If your shop also services smaller VAG engines, consider pairing this with compact camshaft tools for 1.4–1.6L engines to cover a broader range of VW/Audi platforms.

What's Included

The set contains four OEM-specification components:

• 10-Cylinder Camshaft Locking Tool (OEM T10194) – Secures cam position during timing adjustment
• Clamping Device (OEM T10199) – Holds components in alignment during installation
• Rotating Crankshaft Socket (OEM T10225, 5-Cylinder) – Enables controlled crankshaft rotation for timing verification
• Crankshaft Locking Wrench (OEM T10226, 5-Cylinder) – Locks crankshaft in position during cam work

All tools are housed in a fitted black hard plastic carrying case with molded recesses, ensuring organized storage and protection on the service bay shelf.

Why This Set Matters for Your Business

Precision & Reliability: Cam timing on VAG TDI diesels demands exact positioning. Improper timing leads to performance loss, emissions faults, and customer complaints. This set provides the mechanical assurance that timing is correct every time.

OEM-Specification Design: Each tool is engineered to VAG standards, not generic alternatives. This eliminates the risk of damage to expensive cam lobes, crankshaft timing marks, or cylinder head surfaces—damage that could cost far more than the tool investment.

VW Diesel Focus: T5 Transporters, Touareg SUVs, and Phaeton sedans are high-value vehicles in service fleets and are frequently owner-retained for long-term operation. Having this specialized set positions your shop as a trustworthy destination for complex diesel timing work.

Reseller Advantage: Shops specializing in VAG diesel engines can justify the inventory investment quickly. Timing work commands premium labor rates, and tool availability is often the deciding factor for customers choosing a repair facility.

Business Advantages

• Higher Service Margins: Cam timing procedures are technical work; customers recognize the expertise and pay accordingly.
• Inventory Differentiation: Not every shop stocks VAG-specific timing tools. This set distinguishes you from generalist competitors.
• Customer Retention: Reliable timing work means vehicles run efficiently and customers return for future service.
• Bulk Ordering: Purchase multiple sets to outfit service bays or build inventory for resale to independent shops.

Technical Guidance

This set is specifically engineered for the 2.5 TDI PD and 4.9/5.0 TDI PD engines common in T5 commercial vehicles and Touareg/Phaeton passenger platforms. Use during timing belt or camshaft replacement procedures where cam synchronization is critical. Proper tool usage prevents timing drift, compression loss, and start/run issues post-service.

Call to Value

If your shop handles VAG diesel vehicles—particularly T5 fleets or Touareg/Phaeton customer base—this tool set is an essential investment that pays for itself within the first few applications. Order in bulk to equip multiple bays and position yourself as the go-to specialist for European diesel timing work.
