Special tools required ffor Cambelt change?

Featured Replies

Right my friendly Motor technician is servicing my car in a couple of weeks and i have asked him to do the cambelt aswell. He has not done the cambelt on the VRS lump before so asked me to find out if any special tools are required?

So other than the normal tools you would expect are there any VW specific tools he may need?

You cant honestly tell me noone knows about weather or not any special tools are needed to change a cambelt or not?

This is taken from Skudmissile's cambelt thread in the technical guides section:

Specialist tools needed.

Crank locking tool

Camshaft locking tool or 6mm drill bit, it’s easier with the correct tool.

Tensioner tool, handle with 2 pins on for turning of tensioner. Can be made but I bought one from laser.

13mm spanner, 15mm spanner, 13mm socket, 10mm long reaches for removal of glow plugs. Short reach 16mm socket for removal of awkward engine mount bolts.

19mm star socket to turn engine over with.

T20 torx screwdriver for removal of wheel arch liner.

see the following thread for more information:

These are what are needed.

Injection pump locking pin

Tensioner locking tool

Crankshaft locking tool

Not sure about anything else

/edit - too late ! :D
