Crankshaft Lock Pins

NUMBER T40026SET3

SET 3 TOOLS FOR VW

These three tools are same as (VAG) special service tools, used primarily for engine timing procedures on various Audi and VW models (often shared between the brands). Crankshaft Lock Pins designed to hold the crankshaft at Top Dead Center (TDC) during timing belt/chain service, belt replacement, or related engine work to prevent timing slippage and ensure accurate reassembly. Here's a breakdown of the tool numbers below:

T400026 (left side of the image): hex drive end, threaded body, pointed tip.

This secures the crankshaft at TDC position, commonly used in conjunction with camshaft locking tools during timing belt/chain replacement or related front-end engine service. This is an OEM- equivalent/updated version for many VW/Audi engines (especially for some V6/V8 configurations), and often listed interchangeably or comparably with 3242 in tool kits and cross-references for locking the crank to prevent rotation.

3242 (center of the image): knurled body, threaded, with a rounded or blunt end)

This is a classic crankshaft TDC locking pin (OEM VW/Audi part number 3242). It holds the crankshaft at Top Dead Center while removing/installing the toothed timing belt, flywheel, or drive plate. It's widely used on a range of VW/Audi engines, including many V6 (e.g., 2.8L AAH/AFC/AHA/ATQ), V8 (e.g., 4.2L variants like BAR/BNS/BVJ/BYH), and others such as 2.7L, 5.2L, and 6.0L engines. Applications span models like Audi A4, A6, A8, S4, VW Passat, Touareg, and more (particularly 1990s–2000s era). Note: In some later models with front axle clearance issues, superseded by shorter versions like T40237.

T400069 (right side of the image): hex end, stepped body, narrower tip)

This is also a crankshaft TDC locking pin variant (often listed alongside or as an alternative to T400026/3242). It serves the same core purpose: locking the crankshaft at TDC for timing-related work. It's frequently cross-referenced with 3242/T400026 in tool sets and aftermarket listings for V6/V8 engines, suggesting it's used in similar or overlapping applications (e.g., certain Audi/VW V6 and V8 timing jobs, often paired with cam holders).

Note: These tools are not interchangeable in every case due to slight differences in length, thread, or tip design (tailored to specific engine block access holes or clearances), but they often appear in the same tool kits for diesel/gas engines. Always verify exact fitment for your specific engine code/model/year via official VW/Audi service info (e.g., or dealer resources), as using the wrong tool could damage threads or fail to lock properly.

NUMBER REMSET3

Set 3 Tools 

Wheel lug nut (or bolt) cover removal tools, commonly used on cars (especially Volkswagen/Audi group vehicles, and a variety of other vehicles).

The large black plastic item at the top of the photo is a specialized puller/tweezer-style tool designed to grip and safely remove the plastic caps without scratching the wheels. It slides over the cap, hooks underneath, and pulls it off evenly.

The red-handled tool lower left is a basic hook puller for prying off lug nut covers.

The small metal wire tool (lower right) with a loop and hook is a simple removal key/pick, often included in factory tool kits (e.g., in the trunk with the spare tire tools) to hook into the cap and pop it off.

The caps themselves are decorative/protective plastic covers that snap over the actual metal lug nuts to give the wheels a cleaner look and protect against dirt/rust. They're common on alloy wheels and need to be removed before loosening the real lug nuts when changing tires.

NUMBER PAD-33660 

2 pcs Camshaft Timing Chain Tensioner Shoe Pad

Will Fit 1.8T, 2.7T, 2.8L, 4.2L engines used between 1999 - 2007 

These  pieces that snap onto the metal hydraulic tensioner assembly.

The tensioner presses against the secondary timing chain connecting the intake and exhaust camshafts (in engines like the 1.8T, 2.7T, 2.8L V6 30V, and some 4.2L V8 models from roughly 1997–2006). 

These pads wear out over time due to chain contact, heat, and oil exposure, leading to noise, grooves, or eventual failure if not addressed. OEM Vw does not sell these pads separately — they only offer the complete tensioner assembly (which can be pricey). Pictures are for reference only.

NUMBER H2587

Hazet Pin Wrench 

Special Tool same as old VW Number V159 

High quality tool made in Germany

Pin Wrench same as V159 

Needed to adjust the timing belt tensioner pulleys 

on VW/Audi 4 cylinder gas and diesel 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 and 2.0 liter engines 

from approximately 1979 to 1997 and later, or earlier engines which have had the 

later style timing belt tensioner pulley installed. The pins on this tool engage 

the offset center hub of the timing belt tensioner pulley, allowing possibly a 

15mm box end wrench to be placed on the pulley lock nut, and then rotatation the 

offset center of the pulley upward in order to achieve proper timing belt tension. 

Remember, these pulleys adjust upward, not downward. Correct tension on a gasoline 

engines timing belt is achieved when the timing belt can just be twisted 1/4 turn 

(90 degrees) with moderate pressure using thumb and index finger. Tension is checked midway between the cam sprocket and intermediate shaft. Tension that is less than this will cause timing belt chatter. Tension greater than this will cause the timing belt to howl once it gets hot and could lead to premature timing belt failure. 

Correct tension for the diesel engines is checked and adjusted the same way, with the 

exception that the belt tension is checked midway between the cam sprocket and the 

injection pump sprocket and should only twist 1/8 of a turn (45 degrees) using the 

finger/thumb twist method previously described. Additionally, when doing a timing 

belt on the diesel engines, the cam locking tool is required, and the cam sprocket 

must be loose, allowing the cam to be locked at TDC, and then the crank, injection pump, and cam sprocket are then rotated independently from the cam in order to achieve TDC for both the crank and injection pump. 

Some manuals call this tool number 2587 and some other manuals may have it listed as number V159 (either number is correct).

NUMBER T10035

Heavy Duty 1/2 drive XZN socket size M14 (14mm) also used in many Audi, Porsche (and other VAG-group vehicles) is a special 12 point tool (often described as a short XZN or multi-spline socket) designed to remove and install the central bolts on camshaft chain sprockets or camshaft adjusters (variable valve timing units) without damaging the components. These bolts often have a special 12-point/multi-spline (XZN-style) head in M14 size, requiring this profile to apply proper torque and avoid rounding.

Applications: VAG engines with variable camshaft timing, especially:2.4L, 2.8L, 3.0L, 3.0T FSI/TFSI V6 engines.

Also appears in timing tool kits for 2.0T, 3.2L, 4.2L, and 5.2L engines in models like Audi A4, A6, A8, Q5, Q7, VW Touareg, Porsche Cayenne/Panamera, and others.

Stability One-piece design prevents the socket from wobbling or detaching.

Safety Reduces the chance of cracking the spark plug's porcelain insulator.

Precision  Easier to feel the "bite" of the threads by hand using the knurled grip.

NUMBER 449122X7

Set (2) Tools including 22mm Open Socket 

Sturdy 1/2 Inch drive Socket plus 7mm Allen wrench. 

This 22mm socket with cut-away is designed to  

allow for the easy removal and installation of the strut assembly.

It makes the job easier by holding the nut while 

the strut shaft is turned with an Allen wrench. 

To secure shocks and struts to their mounts, the retaining nut must be 

torqued to its proper specification using a torque wrench. Strut nut sockets 

allow for the use of an Allen wrench to hold the damper shaft while utilizing 

your 1/2" drive torque wrench on the socket to achieve proper torque. 

An improper torque value may result in premature mount failure - or worse.
