Description

Camshaft Timing Adjustment Tool for Audi FSI Engines

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built camshaft timing adjustment tool specifically designed for Audi FSI engine platforms. The tool engages the camshaft end with internal locating profiles while providing external hex drive access for controlled positioning during timing belt or chain service, valve work, or full engine rebuilds. For comprehensive timing control on FSI applications, you may also want to stock the crankshaft locking pin for FSI/TFSI engines and the complete FSI timing lock kit combining both camshaft and crankshaft controls to offer your customers a full solution.

Key Features

  • Precision Internal Engagement: Three evenly spaced raised locating profiles (bosses) engage corresponding features on the camshaft end, preventing rotation during service operations.
  • Solid Cast Metal Construction: Machined from aluminum or zinc alloy with uniform surface finish, designed to withstand repeated use in professional shop environments.
  • Hex Drive Interface: Central hexagonal boss accepts standard sockets or spanners, providing mechanical advantage for precise positioning control.
  • Central Guide Hole: Through-hole allows alignment pins or bolts to pass, enabling secure fixture mounting and repeatability.
  • Compact, Lightweight Design: Cup-shaped profile allows easy access in confined engine bay spaces typical of Audi inline and V-configuration FSI layouts.

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-Demand Audi FSI Market: FSI petrol engines are common in Audi A4, A6, A8, and RS4 platforms across multiple model years—consistent demand from independent and OEM-affiliated shops.
  • Paired Sales Opportunity: Mechanics performing timing work typically purchase this tool alongside crankshaft locking pins and timing belt kits, increasing basket value.
  • Durability = Repeat Stock: Cast metal construction withstands shop wear; tools rarely break, but shops maintain backup inventory for reliability.
  • Professional Positioning: Stocking dedicated Audi FSI service tools positions your business as a specialist supplier, differentiating from general-purpose tool retailers.
  • Margin-Friendly: Specialized service tools carry healthier margins than commodity items; low competition in niche automotive segments.
