VAG 1.2 TSI/TFSI Crankshaft Sprocket Removal and Installation Tool Set

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built tool set engineered specifically for VAG Group 1.2 TSI and TFSI petrol engines, addressing the critical task of crankshaft sprocket removal and reinstallation while simultaneously pressing the seal into the timing cover. The 3:1 mechanical advantage design ensures controlled, precise work without risk of component damage. If your shop regularly services VAG Group timing systems, this tool eliminates improvisation and speeds up labor-intensive procedures. For shops handling broader European engine timing work, you may also consider complementary solutions like the VW camshaft alignment tool set for TDI engines to expand your service capability across VW's diverse engine lineup.

• Dual-Function Operation – Simultaneously removes the sprocket while pressing the seal into the timing cover
• Crankshaft Positioning Control – Integrated holding mechanism keeps the crankshaft stationary during sprocket work
• Complete Component Set – Includes cylindrical two-piece installer sleeve, threaded extraction rod, receiving cup, U-shaped mounting bracket, and securing hardware
• Durable Construction – Silver-finished metal components with black steel rod; designed for repeated professional use
• Organized Carrying Case – Hard plastic case with foam-molded compartments ensures tool protection and job-site portability

Why This Tool Matters to Your Business

Labor Efficiency:
VAG TSI/TFSI timing work is notoriously time-consuming. This kit cuts installation time by enabling controlled, single-step removal and seal pressing. Your technicians spend less time improvising with generic pullers and more time billing labor.

Damage Prevention:
Improper sprocket removal leads to stripped threads, bent components, and customer comebacks. This specialized design prevents cam-out and distributes force evenly, protecting both the engine and your reputation.

Competitive Pricing:
VAG owners expect shops to handle timing work efficiently. Offering fast, reliable TSI/TFSI service—backed by purpose-built tooling—justifies premium labor rates and builds customer loyalty.

Stock Appeal:
If you service any VAG Group vehicles (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, SEAT), this tool becomes essential. It's a low-volume, high-margin item that attracts shops serious about German engine work.
