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

• Compact, Organized Storage: Foam case design reduces setup time and minimizes tool loss on busy shop floors

Business Advantages for Distributors
