Draper Expert Engine Timing Kit (Audi, Porsche, SEAT, Skoda, Volkswagen)

The Draper Expert ETK241 Engine Timing Kit is a professional six-piece tool set designed for camshaft drive chain removal, replacement and engine timing inspection on an exceptionally wide range of Audi, Porsche, SEAT, Skoda and Volkswagen vehicles. Covering the VAG group's larger and higher-performance engine range — from the 2.3cc five-cylinder through to the remarkable 6.3cc W12 — the ETK241 provides the correct OEM-equivalent tooling to lock the engine safely in the timed position before any drive chain work is undertaken on these sophisticated, multi-cylinder engine architectures.

With vehicle coverage spanning everything from the iconic Volkswagen Golf R32 and Corrado VR6 to the Porsche Cayenne, Audi A8 W12, Volkswagen Phaeton and Touareg, the ETK241 addresses a segment of the VAG engine range that demands precision tooling and where improvised methods carry a particularly high risk of costly engine damage. For any workshop servicing prestige and performance VAG group vehicles, the ETK241 is an essential and highly versatile investment.

What's in the Kit?

The ETK241 contains six purpose-built tools covering all stages of timing chain locking and replacement on VAG and Porsche large-displacement engines:

• Camshaft Alignment Plates x2(OEM equivalent: T10068-A) — A matched pair of camshaft alignment plates that simultaneously lock the camshafts in the manufacturer-specified timed position before the drive chain is disturbed. On the multi-cylinder VR, V and W engine architectures covered by this kit — which feature multiple camshafts across multiple cylinder banks — correct simultaneous camshaft locking is a critical prerequisite for any timing chain work, ensuring accurate valve timing is maintained throughout the procedure.
• Crank Pulley Counter Holding Tool(OEM equivalent: T10069) — Securely holds the crankshaft pulley against rotation during drive chain work and associated procedures such as pulley bolt removal, preventing crankshaft movement and maintaining the correct timing reference position throughout the service.
• Crankshaft Timing Pin(OEM equivalent: 3242 / T40237) — Locks the crankshaft at the manufacturer-specified timing reference position, providing the primary engine timing datum from which all camshaft alignment and chain installation steps are referenced. Covers both the 3242 and T40237 OEM references to ensure compatibility across the full range of VAG and Porsche engine variants supported by this kit.
• Fuel Pump Sprocket Locking Tool — With Mechanical Vacuum Pump(OEM equivalent: T10363) — Locks the fuel pump sprocket in the correct position during drive chain replacement on engine variants fitted with a mechanical vacuum pump. On these engines, the fuel pump is chain-driven and must be correctly locked before the drive chain is removed to prevent the pump from rotating out of its timed position — which would result in incorrect fuel delivery timing on reassembly.
• Fuel Pump Sprocket Locking Tool — Without Mechanical Vacuum Pump(OEM equivalent: T10332) — Alternative fuel pump sprocket locking tool for use on engine variants not fitted with a mechanical vacuum pump, ensuring the correct tool is always available regardless of the specific engine build within the supported range.

Why Choose the Draper Expert ETK241?

The VAG group's larger and performance-oriented engine range — encompassing VR5, VR6, V8, W8, W12 and high-displacement FSI engines — represents some of the most complex and sophisticated powerplants fitted to European road cars. These engines are found in prestige and performance models ranging from the Volkswagen Golf R32 and Corrado VR6 to the Audi A8 W12 flagship, Volkswagen Phaeton, Porsche Cayenne and Touareg — vehicles whose owners expect and deserve workshop repairs carried out to the highest standard.

Timing chain work on these engines presents specific challenges that go beyond what is required on more straightforward four-cylinder units. Multi-bank engine architectures with multiple camshafts require simultaneous, precise locking across all camshaft positions before any chain work begins. Chain-driven fuel pump systems require their own dedicated locking tools to prevent pump timing displacement during chain removal. And the sheer physical complexity of these engines means that errors made during timing procedures are significantly more difficult and expensive to rectify than on simpler units.

The ETK241 addresses all of these requirements in a single, comprehensive kit — providing matched camshaft alignment plates, crankshaft timing pin, crank pulley holding tool and both variants of the fuel pump sprocket locking tool to ensure complete coverage across the full range of supported VAG and Porsche engine variants. Rather than sourcing these tools individually — at significantly higher combined cost — the ETK241 delivers everything needed for the complete timing chain procedure in one well-specified, professionally manufactured set.

For workshops that service the prestige and performance end of the VAG market, the ETK241 is not simply a useful tool — it is an essential one.

The Draper Expert range is trusted throughout the UK professional workshop trade for precision engineering, robust build quality and genuine value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why are two fuel pump sprocket locking tools included in the ETK241? The ETK241 covers a very wide range of VAG and Porsche engine variants. Some of these engines are fitted with a mechanical vacuum pump driven by the fuel pump circuit, while others are not. The two tools — OEM T10363 for engines with a mechanical vacuum pump, and OEM T10332 for those without — ensure the correct locking tool is always available regardless of the specific engine build, providing complete coverage across all supported variants in a single kit.

Q: Why are two camshaft alignment plates included? The VR, V, W and FSI engines covered by the ETK241 are multi-cylinder, multi-bank engine architectures with multiple camshafts. Both alignment plates (OEM T10068-A) are required to simultaneously lock all camshafts in the timed position before the drive chain is disturbed — a critical step on these complex engine designs where independent camshaft movement during the procedure would result in incorrect valve timing on reassembly.

Q: Does this kit cover the Porsche Cayenne? Yes. The Porsche Cayenne (2004–2016) is included in the supported vehicle list, as it shares the VAG group engine architecture covered by the ETK241. Always verify your specific engine code against the compatibility list before purchase.

Q: Is the ETK241 suitable for the Volkswagen Golf R32? Yes. The Volkswagen Golf R32 (1991–2008) with compatible 3.2cc engine codes is fully covered by the ETK241. The R32's VR6-derived engine is one of the core applications this kit is designed for.

Q: Does this kit cover the Audi A8 W12 and Volkswagen Phaeton W12? Yes. The Audi A8 (2001–2015) and Volkswagen Phaeton (2002–2015) fitted with compatible 6.0cc and 6.3cc W12 engine codes are included in the supported vehicle list, subject to engine code verification.

Q: Is this kit designed for timing chain or timing belt engines? The ETK241 is designed for timing chain (camshaft drive chain) removal, replacement and timing inspection on the supported VAG and Porsche large-displacement engines. Always confirm your specific engine's timing system type using the engine code list before purchase.

Q: Are these genuine Volkswagen or Porsche special tools? No — the ETK241 contains OEM-equivalent aftermarket tools designed to replicate the function of the official VAG and Porsche special tools referenced throughout the kit contents list, including T10068-A, T10069, 3242/T40237, T10363 and T10332.

Q: How many tools are included in the ETK241? The kit contains six individual tools — including two camshaft alignment plates and two fuel pump sprocket locking tools — providing complete coverage of all stages of the timing chain locking, alignment and replacement procedure across the full range of supported VAG and Porsche engine variants.
