Troubleshooting

Tool does not fit crankshaft or camshaft.

Verify that your vehicle's engine is the EA888 1.8/2.0T TSI/TFSI variant and falls within the specified model years (2007-2013). Check the specific engine code against the supported list. Ensure the correct tool from the kit is being used for the specific component.

Difficulty engaging the crankshaft lock.

Ensure the crankshaft pulley bolt is removed and the crankshaft is rotated to the specific position indicated in the vehicle's service manual for locking. Minor adjustments may be needed.

Camshaft adjustment plate seems loose.

Confirm that the camshafts are in the correct orientation for locking. The plate is designed to hold them securely when properly aligned and engaged. Refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise alignment procedures.

Carrying bag zipper is broken.

This is a cosmetic issue and does not affect the functionality of the tools. Contact customer support if you require a replacement bag, noting that the box color is random.
