Description

Timing & Locking Tool Set for VAG Petrol Engines

Brief Overview

This comprehensive timing and locking tool set is purpose-built for timing belt and chain service on VAG petrol engines (AXU, BAG, BKG, BLF, BLN, BLP). It delivers the precision control required for accurate camshaft alignment during engine rebuilds and timing component replacement. Whether you're servicing popular models like the VW Polo, Golf, and Touran, or working on Audi A3 and Skoda Octavia platforms, this set provides all necessary components in a professional carrying case. For shops handling larger displacement engines, complementary options like the TDI locking tool set and universal VAG engine locking kits expand your service coverage across the full VAG range.

Key Components

  • Camshaft locking plates (pair with connecting bar) – Simultaneous locking of both camshafts to prevent rotation during service
  • TDC (Top Dead Centre) adjusting tool – Precise crankshaft positioning for proper timing reference
  • Piston stop pin (orange/copper rod with knurled collar and pointed tip) – Locks piston at TDC, preventing unwanted engine rotation
  • Dial indicator with metal stem – Verification of timing accuracy and valve clearance measurement
  • Threaded locking pins and retention hardware – Multiple lengths for secure tool engagement across engine variants
  • Professional blue hard plastic carrying case – Organized molded tray with secure latches ensures tool protection and on-site portability
