Timing Locking Tool Set GEKO G02862 for VW / Audi / Skoda 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 FSI TSI TFSI (engine timing locking)

GEKO G02862 is a timing locking tool set designed for VW, Audi and Skoda engines with 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 FSI/TSI/TFSI configurations. The kit contains dedicated fixtures to lock camshafts and the crankshaft securely in their service positions during timing belt or timing chain maintenance. By holding the engine components in the correct alignment, the set helps prevent valve-piston interference and preserves factory valve timing when removing or installing timing components.

Advantages

The locking tool set provides precise positioning for camshafts and crankshaft, reducing the risk of timing misalignment during repair. Components are machined to fit the specified VW/Audi/Skoda engines, allowing repeatable and stable fixation. Using the dedicated tools shortens service time by eliminating guesswork and minimizing secondary adjustments after reassembly. The set is compact and organized for easy transport and storage in a workshop environment.

Suitable for

• Locking camshafts and crankshaft on 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 FSI/TSI/TFSI engines
• Timing belt or timing chain replacement and adjustment

How to use

Bring the engine to the specified service position according to the vehicle repair manual. Install the camshaft locating pins and lock plates in the cylinder head cam carrier or cam sprocket positions indicated for the engine variant. Fit the crankshaft holding tool to prevent rotation of the crankshaft at the service mark. Confirm that cam and crank marks are aligned before removing timing components. Reinstall timing belt or chain and tension per manufacturer instructions, then remove locking tools only after confirming correct timing and rotation through at least two full revolutions of the engine by hand.

Usage recommendations

Use the kit together with the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual and follow torque, sequence and safety instructions. Inspect locating tools for wear before each use and replace any damaged parts. For engines with limited clearance, verify component fit and remove accessories as required to gain access.
