VAG Diesel TDI Engine Timing & Locking Tool Set

Overview

This two-piece locking tool set is engineered for timing control on VAG Group diesel TDI engines across multiple platforms. The kit combines crankshaft and camshaft positioning tools, allowing technicians to lock critical engine components during maintenance, repair, and calibration work. When working with these engines, you'll also want to consider complementary solutions like additional camshaft adjustment tools or comprehensive multi-engine timing kits for expanded diagnostic capability.

Key Components

• Crankshaft Locking Tool (Qty. 2): Precision-machined cylindrical locking rod with alignment pin and grip knob for secure crankshaft positioning at top dead center (TDC).
• Camshaft Locking Tool (Qty. 2): Toothed locking block with knurled adjustment cap, designed to engage timing belt sprockets and hold camshaft position during belt service or valve timing adjustment.

Supported Engine Types

VW/Audi Diesel Platform: Covers 20+ engine variants including AJM, AMF, ANU, ANY, ARL, ASZ, ATD, ATJ, AUY, AVB, AVF, AWX, AVQ, AXB, AXC, AXR, AYZ, AZV, BAY, BJB, BKC, BRU, BDK, BKD engines across displacement ranges 1.2L to 2.0L TDI/SDI.

Vehicle Coverage:

• VW: Lupo, Golf, Bora, Beetle, Caddy, Passat, Sharan, Touran, Transporter (1998–2006)
• Audi: A2, A3, A4, A6
• Ford: Galaxy (2000–2006)
• Seat: Arosa, Ibiza, Córdoba, León, Toledo, Alhambra (1999–2005)
• Skoda: Fabia, Octavia (2000–2006), 3- and 4-cylinder configurations

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-Volume Demand: TDI timing service remains a staple diagnostic procedure across independent shops and franchise networks. Stock turnover is reliable.
• Service Essential: Technicians cannot perform accurate timing work without locking tools. This kit enables complete valve timing diagnostics on a major vehicle segment.
• Multiple Engine Coverage: Single kit addresses 20+ engine codes and six vehicle manufacturers—reduces SKU complexity for distributor inventory.
• Robust Metal Construction: Precision-machined steel and stainless components withstand repeated use. Minimal warranty claims on tool durability.

Professional Value Proposition

This kit eliminates guesswork during critical TDI service intervals. By immobilizing both crankshaft and camshaft simultaneously, technicians can safely perform belt changes, tensioner service, and fuel injection timing adjustments without risk of incorrect valve overlap. The dual-tool design (two of each component) supports multi-vehicle shop workflows or backup tooling on high-volume service lines.

For shops servicing VAG platforms regularly, this is a core investment—not optional. Margin opportunity is strong due to the essential nature of timing work and the precision requirements that justify premium tool pricing.
