VAG Cam belt tools

[tolly_tdi]

After reading several guides and getting the video from cinctdi I will be (with a little help from my mechanic cousin) be changing the cam belt on my 1.9 TDI 110 asv.

Does anyone know where I can locate some aftermarket copies of the VAG tools used by technicians? I have had a look at sealeys does anyone any others.

cheers

hmmm im not sure im afraid. your talking about the locking tool so you dont loose the timing.

laser tools and maybe snap on if you have plenty of dosh

yes Laser is Ok and a reasonable price also has a good web sight which is worth a nose anyway

vw main dealer will have them but will probaly cost a lot of money, also if you can get a haynes manual for your car it will tell you how to make 1 in there

Do Haynes do a manual for the Leon?? Didnt think they did... ?

 

[tolly_tdi]

yeah will check out laser - have a few of their tools already - halfrauds stock them also.
The tools I am looking for are part of a full kit. There is the timing locking tool which could possibly be generally and the tensioner 'spanner' can be got off ebay. the rest are pretty specific. I was hoping that someone might have done this already on here!

i use halfruads tools and i can't fault them and they are good value for money and they have lifetime garantee which is a big plus

The only tool that'll really be of any use is the locking pin for the injection pump, once its pinned nothing will move once the belt is off but i'd mark each pully against a none moving part of the engine as reference marks, There is no crank tool but you can 'time' the crank from the hole on the gear box end if you line up the marks on the block and the flywheel.

I thought the only tool needed was either a 6mm or 8mm pin or drill to hold the injection pump as stated above!
TBH nothing should move and again as stated above, mark each pulley
