GEKO G02867 is a camshaft and timing locking tool created for Volkswagen and Audi 1.8 and 2.0 TSI/TFSI engines with timing chain drive. It holds camshafts and related timing components in the correct position during engine maintenance, timing chain replacement, and precision timing procedures. The tool is intended for use in professional workshops and by experienced technicians performing cylinder head service, timing checks, or component replacement where reliable locking of camshafts is required.

Advantages

The tool provides secure and stable locking of camshafts to prevent rotation while removing or installing timing chain components. Its design enables precise alignment of timing positions, reducing the risk of timing errors during reassembly. The GEKO locking tool is compact and easy to position, allowing efficient workflow in confined engine compartments and saving time during engine repairs.
