Master Your Audi EA839 Engine Service with the Ultimate Timing Tool Kit
For professional mechanics and Audi enthusiasts, servicing the EA839 2.9T and 3.0T TFSI V6 engines (found in the Audi S4, S5, SQ5, RS4, and Q7) requires more than just standard wrenches. Due to the complex rear-chain design and the floating camshaft adjusters, a high-precision Engine Timing Camshaft Locking Tool Kit is non-negotiable.
Our professional-grade kit is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of VAG timing chain replacement and camshaft alignment, ensuring your engine performance remains factory-perfect.
Designed for the Latest Adjuster Specs: 06M 109 088 K & H
One of the most frequent challenges during an EA839 teardown is the compatibility with the camshaft adjusters. Our tool kit is designed with a deep understanding of the 06M 109 088 H and the updated 06M 109 088 K versions.
Pro Tip: The EA839 adjusters feature a "floating" design without a woodruff key. To secure the 22mm center section of the newer K-version adjusters, our kit utilizes a high-torque multi-tooth adapter logic. By seating the adapter into the internal splines, you can safely apply the required 80 Nm + 90° torque without slipping or damaging the sensitive VVT components.
What’s Inside the Kit? (OEM Equivalence T40331)
This comprehensive set includes everything needed to lock the engine at Top Dead Center (TDC) and secure the valvetrain:
Camshaft Locking Plates (T40331/1 /2): Heavy-duty steel plates to fix the camshafts at the rear of the cylinder head.
Crankshaft Locking Pin: Precision-machined to lock the crank at TDC through the block port.
Multi-tooth Adjuster Adapters: Specialized sockets designed to bite into the adjuster internals for safe tightening.
High-Leverage Wrench: Ergonomically designed to work in the tight engine bays of the B9 and C8 platforms.
