Why Stock This Tool

Small-displacement 3-cylinder petrol engines in economy cars require specialized attention. General-purpose timing tools rarely fit these compact powerplants precisely. This dedicated blocking tool eliminates guesswork, reduces job time, and protects against alignment errors that lead to customer comebacks. For shops with regular VW UP, Skoda Citigo, or Seat Mii service work, this is non-negotiable inventory.
