Camshaft Sprocket Holding Tool for VAG Vehicles – Assembly & Timing Control

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built camshaft sprocket holding tool designed for VAG group vehicles (Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda). It securely locks camshaft sprockets during critical engine work—assembly, disassembly, and timing belt replacement—preventing unwanted rotation and ensuring precise valve timing. The forked head design engages sprocket locating holes directly, eliminating guesswork and reducing engine damage risk. Whether you're managing routine maintenance or complex engine rebuilds, this tool is essential for shops working on VAG diesel and gasoline engines. Consider pairing this with a comprehensive camshaft timing tool set or a universal sprocket locking tool for complete engine timing management.

• Single-tool solution for camshaft assembly, disassembly, and timing verification
