DPTOOL EA888 1.8/2.0 Engine Timing Tool Kit for VW Audi — Full camshaft alignment & locking set

DPTOOL EA888 1.8/2.0 TSi TFSi Engine Timing Tool Kit is a full professional set of alignment, locking, and installation tools designed to accurately time and service VW and Audi EA888 1.8/2.0 TSi/TFSi engines from 2006–2018.

This DPTOOL kit gathers the specialized fixtures technicians need to lock camshafts, align chains and sprockets, hold pulleys, and install seals for a range of EA888 engine codes. It replaces multiple OEM tools and groups them into a portable case with a clear manual, making timing tasks faster, safer, and more repeatable whether you’re a seasoned mechanic or a DIY enthusiast tackling major maintenance.

How does this kit help when replacing or adjusting the timing chain?
