Description

VW/Audi Valve Timing Adjustment Tool for 3.6L V6 4-Valve Engines

Brief Overview

This is a specialized valve timing adjustment tool engineered specifically for VW Passat (2006+) and Audi Q7 (2007+) models equipped with 3.6L V6 4-valve engines (engine codes BLV, BHL, BHK). The tool locks the camshaft and crankshaft in precise positions during timing belt service, cylinder head work, or engine rebuild operations—critical for preventing catastrophic valve-to-piston contact. When your shop handles gasoline engine timing procedures on these platforms, you'll need this tool. Pair it with comprehensive diesel timing tool sets or our complete VW/Audi timing kit for a fully equipped service department.

Key Features

  • Engine-Specific Design: Machined for BLV, BHL, and BHK engine codes exclusively—no guesswork or adapter improvisation required.
  • Dual-Function Locking Mechanism: Integrated clamping jaw and positioning aperture allow simultaneous camshaft and crankshaft alignment.
  • Precision Reference Marks: Stamped alignment indicators ensure repeatable, accurate positioning across multiple service intervals.
  • Compact Footprint: Small, rectangular metal construction allows access in tight engine bay environments without removing unnecessary components.
  • Durable Construction: Matte black finish and chamfered edges indicate robust workshop use; tool is built to handle repeated cycles without wear to critical surfaces.

Why Resellers Stock This Tool

Shop Efficiency & Margin:

  • VW Passat and Audi Q7 3.6L V6 owners represent a defined, profitable segment in your service territory.
  • Eliminates expensive diagnostic guesswork during timing-related procedures—mechanics complete jobs faster and with zero rework risk.
  • Single-purpose design commands premium labor rates because it's OEM-equivalent and unavoidable for compliant engine service.

Inventory Advantage:

  • Highly specialized tool with low shelf-space footprint; high perceived value for a compact, precision instrument.
  • Low return/warranty risk—tool either works or it doesn't; no mechanical failure modes.
  • Attracts independent shops and franchises that service these platforms but lack comprehensive OEM tooling.
