DO NOT BUY! Fits Engine Tools

WILL NOT FIT ALH engines as stated. Definitely don't BUY! The cam lock does not seat well, the injector lock pin does not fit properly, and the pins are too wide to fit the tensioner. TOTALLY USELESS!

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Negative

Perfect timing belt tool Tools

Works great. Concerned about a few reviews. But the cam lock is heavy and fits snugly and snugly like it's supposed to. I have no idea how anyone could bend the plate. great tool for the money. Arrived on time. I definitely recommend for VW 1.9 ALH

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • old

worked once.: Tools & Equipment

used this kit on my ALH Volkswagen TDI, cam mount works as expected could have liked a bit better but works. The fuel pump pin worked as expected. The tensioner pins broke when I tensioned the timing belt before it was up to spec. had to use pliers with offset snap rings to finish the job

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Hard to say

This tool is of very poor quality. When turning the timing belt on the TDI engine, the pins bent out of the tool since it is made of soft metal and not hardened steel. I spent money on this tool. Save yourself the hassle and buy an expensive instrument made in Germany. I gave 1 star because I couldn't choose zero or -3 stars.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Hard to tell

The price is right.

Required when changing the toothed belt on TDI. I have the tools to work but with some modifications. At first the cam plate was soft metal and I ended up bending it. It's ok, just straightened it and started using it more carefully. Second, the tensioner broke. Both pins broke on the first try. Not the end of the world. I took it to the hardware store and found some nuts and bolts that fit the holes and worked amazing. I had no problems with the injection pump pin. So I'll say this kit gets…

Poor quality and turned into a nightmare.

I hate leaving negative reviews but I ordered this kit thinking how bad it could be? Well the day I fitted the timing kit to a 2002 VW TDI ALH I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the kit. First the injection pump pin didn't fit and I had to use a 4mm allen wrench instead, then the cam plate wouldn't fit properly and finally the wrench started to fall apart during use. The pins were too wide so I had to bend them a bit to fit the tensioner and after several attempts to adjust the…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
