DIAL FACE
American-made compression tester designed for use on VW diesel engines. Quick disconnect adapters screw into the injector hole(non-TDI) or glow plug hole(TDI only), then snap on the hose to take readings. Side release valve allows for additional readings without removing the adapter. Hose and gauge only. Adapters to suit your engine sold separately.

CYLINDER LEAK-DOWN TESTER
Low Compression Reading? Is it valves or rings? Find out using this tool.
A low compression reading on a sick diesel tells you something, but it doesn’t tell you everything. Determine the amount and location of leakage. Requires adapter below.

This hose is needed to connect the leak-down tester to diesel engines(valve core must be removed)
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE TESTER
If your oil pressure light comes on, you need to know what your actual oil pressure is. It could just be a bad sensor, but it could be a bigger problem. The only way to know is to put a mechanical gauge right on the engine and get a true reading. Includes adapters to fit most foreign and domestic engines.

All ‘75-’86.5 #SN13678 . . . .$19.95
All VW Diesels ‘77-’86.5 have mechanical lifters and require periodic valve adjustments. In order to change the adjustment shims, you’ll need a valve depressor tool and special pliers to grab the shims. There are two types of valve depressors-1.5 diesels use #SN13682, 1.6 diesels use #SN3505. All engines use the same pliers #SN13678. Check your valve clearances before you start hearing the lifters tick and adjust them if they’re out of spec. It’s a lot cheaper than replacing the head!
DIESEL CAM BELT INSTALLATION
AND TIMING TOOLS
INJECTION PUMP LOCKING PIN
This tool has been designed to aid in the changing of the camshaft drive belt. In operation it locks the Bosch diesel injection pump sprocket in position. This allows the drive belt to be removed without the injector loosing its general timing position. If the drive belt has been broken or is missing this tool will locate the general timing position of the pump as called for in the belt installation instructions. This locking pin is made of steel with a precision ground circumference for an accurate fit. For use on VW and Audi diesels.
#SN3507 $9.95
#SN3506 $19.95
CAMSHAFT LOCKING PLATE
This tool has been designed to aid in the changing of the camshaft drive belt. In operation it locks the camshaft in the correct position allowing the drive belt to be removed. If the drive belt has been broken or is missing this tool will locate the general timing position of the cam as called for in the belt installation instructions. This camshaft locking plate has been made with a precision ground finish for an accurate fit. For use on VW and Audi diesels.
LATE MODEL TDI TIMING TOOLS
Pump Locking Pin #SN18724 $17.95
Cam Locking Plate #SN18723 $39.95
The later TDI’s (‘98-’03 New Beetle and ‘99.5-’03 Golf/Jetta) require a slightly different looking pin and plate. These precision-made tools hold the cam and injection pump in place while installing the new belt. A must for any timing belt replacement!
INDICATOR TOOL FOR BOSCH
DIESEL INJECTION PUMP TIMING
#SN3508 $99.95
This tool allows the accurate setting of the injection timing on Bosch diesel injection pumps. Screw the tool into the back of the pump, then follow the instructions in the Bentley Manual to zero out the gauge.
TIMING BELT
TENSIONING TOOL
A must-have tool to correctly tension the timing belt on all diesels which have two holes on the face of the tensioner pulley. This wrench has two pins which lock into the pulley adjuster, allowing proper adjustment.
#SN3518 $23.95
WATER PUMP(and Power Steering)
PULLEY WRENCH
A great tool-it fits around the water pump or power-steering pump pulley bolts and prevents the pulley from spinning while you’re removing or tightening the bolts. Saves a lot of frustration
#SN18849 $39.95
REAR CALIPER “RESET” TOOL
VW’s with rear disc brakes(some ‘96-’99.5 TDI’s, all ‘99.5 and later) require a special tool to compress the piston back into the rear calipers. Do NOT try to force back the piston with a C-clamp, it will damage the adjuster mechanism and you will have to replace the caliper.
