Why This Set Matters

Camshaft timing on VAG TDI engines demands precision—misalignment leads to valve overlap issues, poor idle quality, and costly comebacks. This tool set locks both the camshaft and crankshaft in their correct positions simultaneously, eliminating trial-and-error adjustment. The dual-cylinder support (5 and 10-cylinder variants) means a single investment covers three high-value vehicle models. For resellers, this is a tool that shops need to own, not want to rent.


Ready to stock a professional-grade timing solution? This set is ideal for VAG-focused independent shops, dealer support programs, and multi-brand service centers that need to expand TDI engine expertise.
