Description

Timing Tools Set for 2.5L TFSI Petrol Engine – Audi RS3, Q3, TT

Brief Overview

This is a specialized timing tool set engineered for Audi's 5-cylinder 2.5 TFSI petrol engines found in the RS3, Q3, and TT models. The kit provides all necessary locking and alignment tools required to safely position the engine during chain replacement work, eliminating guesswork and preventing costly alignment errors. If your shop services other VAG TFSI platforms, consider pairing this with a master timing tool set for TFSI/FSI engines to expand your service capability across multiple engine families.

Key Features

  • Crankshaft alignment pin – Positions the crankshaft to TDC with precision
  • Camshaft locking tool – Dual-clamp bracket secures camshafts in correct position
  • Tensioner pulley locking pin – Prevents chain slack during service
  • Camshaft adjuster holding tool – Stabilizes variable timing components
  • Crankshaft pulley bolt adaptor – Facilitates safe pulley removal and reinstallation
  • Comprehensive carry case – All tools organized in molded compartments with integrated handle
  • OEM-equivalent design – Matches original Audi specifications (T40070, T03006, T03003, T40069, T40079)

Why This Set Matters

Timing chain service on Audi's 5-cylinder TFSI engines is precision work. Without proper locking tools, technicians risk:

  • Cam/crank misalignment during chain installation
  • Excessive chain slack leading to rattle and premature wear
  • Variable timing adjuster damage from incorrect positioning
  • Extended labor time due to trial-and-error alignment

This kit eliminates all three problems by providing positive mechanical locks for every critical component. The result: faster service intervals, confident execution, and zero comebacks.

Call to Action

Stock this kit in your distributor catalog to serve the growing independent workshop market. Audi RS3, Q3, and TT owners increasingly rely on independent shops for service work, and shops without proper timing tools either outsource this work (losing margin) or attempt it blindly (risking their reputation). This kit solves both problems while establishing your company as a trusted supplier of professional-grade service equipment.
