Description

Engine Timing Adaptor for VAG 1.2 TSi – Camshaft Locking Kit for EA211 Petrol Engines

Overview

This engine timing adaptor is purpose-built for setting and verifying camshaft alignment on VAG 1.2 TSi petrol engines (EA211 platform, 3 and 4-cylinder variants). Compatible with professional timing meters and locating brackets, this kit streamlines camshaft synchronization during engine assembly, rebuild, or timing chain service—without requiring OBD system intervention when used correctly.

For shops working across the broader VAG petrol lineup, we also recommend exploring our timing tool sets for larger TSi/TFSI engines and camshaft locking kits for EA888 powerplants to maximize tool versatility across your service portfolio.

What's Included

  • Two knurled locking pins – Threaded, machined steel pins with ergonomic knurled grip for secure manual operation and precise rotational control
  • Metal locating plate/bracket – Flat steel reference guide for accurate camshaft positioning and alignment verification
  • Two labeled adapter sleeves – Black rubber-faced cylindrical adapters marked "IN." (intake) and "EX." (exhaust) for clear identification and proper valve train assembly
  • Protective foam case – Blue foam insert with precision-cut compartments, ensuring tool security during transport and storage

Key Features

  • Intake and Exhaust Identification: Color-coded sleeves with clear labeling prevent assembly errors on multi-cam configurations
  • Machined Precision: Stainless steel construction ensures dimensional stability and repeatability across multiple applications
  • OBD-Independent Workflow: When procedures are followed correctly, eliminates the need for diagnostic system recalibration post-timing
  • Professional Compatibility: Works seamlessly with meter-based timing systems (compatible with ASTA A-VG15T bracket assemblies)
  • Compact, Organized Storage: Foam case design reduces setup time and minimizes tool loss on busy shop floors

Business Advantages for Distributors

  • High-Demand Application: VAG 1.2 TSi engines are widespread across Audi, Seat, Skoda, and VW platforms (model year 2007+), creating consistent resale demand in independent shops and dealership service centers
  • Margin-Friendly Accessory: Timing adaptors are essential consumables for shops performing timing chain services, valve cover work, or engine rebuilds—repeat purchase potential
  • Dealer Alternative: Positions your shop as a cost-effective alternative to OEM timing tool kits, expanding market share in price-conscious segments
  • Bundle Opportunity: Pair with meter brackets and diagnostic tools to create complete timing service packages that increase average transaction value
