Timing & Locking Tool Set for VAG AXU, BAG, BKG Engines

Overview

This specialized timing and locking tool set is engineered for precise camshaft timing adjustment on VAG group petrol engines. Whether you're performing timing belt replacements, timing chain service, or major engine repairs, this kit provides the critical tools needed to lock the crankshaft and camshaft in the correct TDC (Top Dead Center) position—essential for proper engine synchronization and preventing costly alignment errors.

If your shop also services VAG diesel engines, consider pairing this with diesel engine locking tools for complete coverage across your service range.
