Review on ๐Ÿ”ง VIM Tools V3452 Head Bolt Tool, 10" - Heavy-Duty Tool for Efficient Head Bolt Removal and Installation by Walter Devarakonda

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Wrong tolerances, started cleaning the head.

Bought to remove the head bolts from my 2008 GTI FSI, cleaned the heads, installed the tool properly, started torquing and found it slipping. Noticed a slight wobble and the tool doesn't fit properly. Came right back and bought the W83182 performance tool which fits 100% perfectly on the head bolts, so tight and tight absolutely nothing moved and I was able to unscrew all the bolts with no problem. This tool would definitely loosen the screws which would give me a massive headache. Maybe it fits better on 1.8t bolts, but I don't see how. For my 2.0t it was certainly not a Bueno.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
