Full details

The Sealey VSE5951 is an essential engine timing kit designed for automotive technicians and professional mechanics tasked with timing belt replacement and maintenance on VAG 1.2-2.0D Pumpe Duse and common rail diesel engines. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of precision-engineered locking tools for both oval and round crankshaft gears, ensuring accurate engine timing across a wide range of compatible vehicles. One key caveat to note is that this kit is highly specialized for specific diesel engine configurations and may not be compatible with gasoline engines or non-VAG derived diesel platforms.

Does it include instructions for specific engine codes?

The kit is designed for standard VAG diesel timing procedures; always refer to the vehicle manufacturer's workshop manual for specific timing steps.

What should I do if a tool gets lost?

As this is a precision set, it is recommended to contact Sealey technical support to see if individual components can be sourced separately.

Troubleshooting

Locking pin does not insert into the camshaft pulley

Rotate the engine by hand slightly to reach Top Dead Center (TDC) precisely; ensure you are using the correct pin diameter for the specific engine code.

Tool feels loose inside the crankshaft gear

Verify if you are using the correct tool for the gear type; the kit includes specific profiles for both oval and round crank gears.

  • Covers a broad range of VAG engine types
  • Durable case prevents loss of small components
  • Reduces risk of engine damage during timing belt replacement
  • Includes tools for both oval and round crankshaft gears

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your VSE5951 kit, verify the engine code before beginning any work to confirm compatibility with the provided pins and locks. Always clean each tool after use to remove oil and debris before returning them to the foam-lined storage case. Inspect the locking pins for any signs of deformation or burrs before insertion into the engine block; if a pin feels tight or obstructed, do not force it, as this may indicate an alignment error or the wrong tool selection. Store the case in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the hardened steel components.
