Camshaft and Crankshaft Locking Kit for VAG Group Engines

Brief Overview

Timing belt replacement on VAG engines demands precision and reliability. This two-piece locking kit provides the exact positioning control needed to align camshaft and crankshaft during critical service intervals. Whether you're servicing an Audi A4, A6, A8, VW Passat, or Skoda Superb, this kit eliminates guesswork and prevents costly engine damage from misalignment. Pair this with a TDC locking screw for VAG engines or a comprehensive timing tool set for VAG engines to establish a complete timing service capability in your shop.

Business Advantages for Resellers

Margin Protection & Customer Retention: Timing belt jobs represent high-value service tickets. A single misalignment mistake—without proper locking tools—costs thousands in engine repair claims. Shops with this kit complete jobs confidently, reducing callbacks and protecting your reputation.

Turnover Velocity: VAG vehicles are common in European and North American markets. Mechanics need this tool for every timing belt on these platforms. Stock depth in this category drives repeat orders.

Cross-Sell Opportunity: Shops upgrading their timing service capability often buy complementary tools (TDC lockers, full timing sets) in the same purchase. This kit is a natural entry point to larger tool system sales.
