Description of QS10851

The Audi V6 Timing Tool Kit QS10851 is an essential tool for workshops specializing in servicing VAG vehicles from the 90s and 2000s. The Audi A4, A6, S4 and RS4 timing tool kit is designed to securely hold the paired camshafts on 2.4, 2.7 Turbo and 2.8 V6 engines. This tool makes timing belt assembly simple and precise, without the risk of shaft deformation.

Failure to properly set the timing on a 2.8 V6 or 2.7 Turbo without a timing belt holder often results in misalignment of the shafts, incorrect belt tension and potential valve damage. The QS10851 tool completely solves this problem, allowing mechanics to quickly and safely perform work on Audi A6 Quattro, Allroad, S4, RS4 and Volkswagen Passat models with AGA, AJG, AGB, AZR, ACK, ALG engines and dozens of other codes.
