Description

Tension Lever for 1.8/2.0 VAG Engines

Brief Overview

This tension lever is a specialized service tool designed specifically for 1.8/2.0 VAG engine platforms. It provides the mechanical leverage needed to release and adjust serpentine belt tensioners during routine maintenance and timing belt service. The tool's forked engagement design ensures secure contact with OEM tensioner mechanisms across multiple VAG-group vehicles. When stocking this tool, pair it with complementary service solutions like a VAG timing belt tensioner kit or a balance shaft puller for VAG engines to create a complete engine service package for your customer base.
