Review on BELEY Engine Timing Camshaft Locking Tools & Equipment by Brad Schaefer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked on 2013 vw Jetta 2.5L

Worked on my 2013 2.5L Jetta. It's a bit difficult to find the position of the crankshaft. There are two positions where the tool really fits. One will be slightly loose (hardly noticeable) and the other will be tight and the crankshaft will not move. The best way to find a place for the crankshaft is to put a stick in the spark plug hole in the first cylinder (numbering starts from when) chain to the accessory belts, so looking right to left looking at the engine with a good opening [accessory belt - 5 4 3 2 1 - timing chain]) mark the stick and watch as you turn the crankshaft for the mark. Locate the highest point of the sign on the rod that indicates cylinder #1 is at TDC and look for a spot on the crankshaft to plug the tool. I also looked into the tool hole with the camera and quickly found the spot. You will see an indentation in the hole on the crank. Lock the cams with a tool. Put the chain back. Tighten the sprockets (I removed both, it's easier to manage the chain). 60 nm and then another 90 degrees towards the windscreen. If, even when turning the crank, you have the feeling that it no longer wants to move, the chain is probably blocked. Sprocket of the vacuum pump. Just wiggle the chain and you're good. Hope my review helps. I had to find out for myself.
