Crankshaft Counter Holder Tool for VW V6 FSI and Porsche M55.01 Engines

Brief Overview

This specialist crankshaft counter holder is engineered for critical timing service operations where secure crankshaft positioning is non-negotiable. Essential when removing or installing the crankshaft pulley on VW V6 FSI, W8, R36, R32, VR6 (24V) engines and Porsche Cayenne M55.01 3.6L powerplants. The tool's precision-machined design prevents unwanted rotation during high-torque operations, protecting both engine components and technician safety.

For shops performing comprehensive timing work, pair this tool with a camshaft locking solution for timing control to streamline multi-step valve train service operations.

  • OEM specification alignment (T10069 equivalent) ensuring exact fit on target engine platforms
  • Engine code compatibility: AGZ, AQP crankshaft designs

Business Advantages for Resellers

Market Position: VW V6 and Porsche timing service remains a high-value repair category. This tool addresses a specific, unavoidable operational requirement—mechanics cannot safely perform pulley removal without it. This creates steady, predictable demand.

Inventory Efficiency: Single SKU covers multiple VW and Porsche platforms (V6 FSI, W8, R36, R32, VR6 24V), maximizing utility per unit stocked. No seasonal fluctuation; timing work occurs year-round across these model generations.

Margin Profile: Specialist tools command premium positioning in your catalog. Customers seeking this tool have already committed to performing the job—price resistance is minimal. Position alongside timing kit bundles for attachment sales.

Technician Confidence: Shops that lack this tool either outsource timing work or risk improper crankshaft holding (damaged pulleys, stripped fasteners, safety incidents). Your supply eliminates that friction point.
