Draper Expert Engine Timing Kit ETK111 (Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen)

One Kit. Comprehensive Coverage Across the VAG Premium Engine Family.

The 2.7cc and 3.0cc TDI V6 and the 4.0cc and 4.2cc V8 engine families fitted across Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen's premium and SUV ranges represent some of the most sophisticated — and most timing-sensitive — powerplants in the European market. From the ubiquitous 3.0 TDI found in everything from the Audi A6 to the Porsche Cayenne Diesel, to the powerful 4.2 TDI V8 in the Audi A8 and Q7, these engines share a common requirement: when timing chain work is needed, it must be carried out with absolute precision using the correct dedicated tooling.

The Draper Expert ETK111 meets that requirement in full. A 9-piece OEM-equivalent set covering every locking, holding and alignment step in the timing chain removal and replacement procedure, it delivers dealer-level capability for independent VAG specialists and experienced performance car mechanics at a fraction of the franchised workshop cost.

9-Piece OEM-Equivalent Tool Set

Every tool in the ETK111 is manufactured to OEM-equivalent specification, directly replicating the VAG dealer workshop tooling used by Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen franchised networks. OEM reference numbers are confirmed for all applicable pieces:

• 1 x Crankshaft turning tool — OEM ref. T40049
• 1 x Camshaft alignment pin — OEM ref. T40060
• 1 x Camshaft alignment tool — OEM ref. T40061
• 1 x Tension tool — OEM ref. T40062
• 1 x Pulley bolt — OEM ref. T40058
• 1 x Timing chain tensioner locking pins — OEM ref. T40071
• 1 x Injection pump timing pin — OEM ref. 3359
• 1 x Chain tension pins
• 1 x Crankshaft locking pin — OEM ref. T40237

The OEM reference numbers confirm that each tool is dimensioned and profiled to engage correctly with the specific geometry of these engine families — providing the same secure, accurate lock-up as the original manufacturer tooling.

What Each Tool Does

Crankshaft Turning Tool (T40049) Allows the crankshaft to be rotated smoothly and precisely to the timing position using a standard breaker bar or ratchet, engaging with the crankshaft in a controlled manner without risk of damage to the pulley or bolt.

Camshaft Alignment Pin (T40060) Locates into the camshaft to confirm and hold its position during the timing procedure. Ensures the camshaft cannot rotate away from the timed position whilst the chain is removed and refitted.

Camshaft Alignment Tool (T40061) Works in conjunction with the alignment pin to lock and verify the camshaft position across the engine's variable valve timing system, maintaining the correct phasing relationship throughout chain replacement.

Tension Tool (T40062) Manages chain tensioner pre-loading during reassembly, ensuring the new chain is brought to the correct tension in a controlled and measured manner as specified in the manufacturer workshop procedure.

Pulley Bolt (T40058) Provides a secure, correctly dimensioned interface for rotating and torquing the crankshaft pulley bolt during the timing procedure — essential for accurate torque application to this critical fastener without risk of slipping or rounding.

Timing Chain Tensioner Locking Pins (T40071) Lock the chain tensioner in the retracted position during chain removal, preventing it from extending and obstructing the chain replacement process. Must be correctly positioned and released at the specified point in the reassembly sequence.

Injection Pump Timing Pin (OEM 3359) Locks the high-pressure fuel injection pump in the correct timing position on diesel variants. Ensuring the injection pump remains in phase with the engine during timing chain work is critical on TDI engines — incorrect injection pump timing results in hard starting, poor running and potential engine damage.

Chain Tension Pins Provide additional tensioner management during specific stages of the chain removal and refitting procedure, ensuring controlled and safe handling of chain tension throughout.

Crankshaft Locking Pin (T40237) Locks the crankshaft securely at the correct top dead centre timing position once it has been rotated into alignment. With the crankshaft pinned, all other locking tools can be applied with confidence that the engine is correctly positioned and cannot move during the procedure.

Why Correct Tooling is Essential on These Engines

The V6 and V8 engine families covered by the ETK111 feature complex twin-camshaft configurations, variable valve timing systems and — on TDI variants — hydraulically timed high-pressure injection pumps. There are multiple components that must be locked simultaneously and in precise sequence during timing chain work. Any movement of the camshafts, crankshaft or injection pump out of their timed positions during the procedure risks valve-to-piston contact, injection timing errors and severe engine damage on startup.

These are also engines fitted to high-value premium and performance vehicles where the cost of engine damage from incorrect timing work significantly outweighs the investment in the correct tools. The ETK111 eliminates that risk entirely.

Q: Which vehicles is the ETK111 compatible with? The ETK111 covers Audi A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7 and SQ5; Porsche Cayenne, Macan and Panamera; and Volkswagen Phaeton and Touareg — all fitted with 2.7cc, 3.0cc, 4.0cc or 4.2cc TDI or TFSI V6 and V8 engines, produced between 2003 and 2017. Always verify your specific engine code against the full compatibility list before ordering.

Q: How do I find my engine code on an Audi, Porsche or Volkswagen? The engine code is typically found on a sticker in the engine bay, stamped on the engine block, or listed on the vehicle identification plate. It can also be confirmed by entering the VIN into the Audi, Porsche or Volkswagen parts database, or via a VAG-compatible diagnostic scan tool. The engine code is usually a three or four-letter combination such as CRCA, CDYA or CTEC.

Q: Why is the injection pump timing pin included in this kit? On TDI diesel variants, the high-pressure fuel injection pump is driven by and must remain in precise timing phase with the engine. During timing chain removal, if the injection pump is not locked in its correct position it can rotate out of phase — resulting in incorrect injection timing on reassembly. This causes hard starting, poor running, excessive smoke and potential engine damage. The injection pump timing pin (OEM 3359) locks the pump in the correct position throughout the chain replacement procedure.

Q: Is there any difference between using these tools and using genuine VAG dealer tools? The ETK111 tools are OEM-equivalent, meaning they are manufactured to the same dimensional specifications as the original VAG dealer workshop tools they replicate, with confirmed OEM reference numbers for each applicable piece. They are designed to engage and function identically to the original tools. As with any workshop procedure, correct technique and adherence to the manufacturer workshop manual procedure is essential regardless of tool source.

Q: Does the kit cover both diesel TDI and petrol TFSI engines? Yes. The engine code list covers both TDI diesel variants — including the widely fitted 2.7 and 3.0 TDI V6 and 4.2 TDI V8 — and TFSI petrol variants within the covered displacement range. Always confirm your specific engine code is listed before ordering, as the tool requirements can vary between individual engine variants even within the same displacement family.

Q: Is this suitable for use on a Porsche Cayenne Diesel? Yes. The Porsche Cayenne Diesel fitted with the 3.0cc V6 TDI engine (engine codes including CNRB, CRCA, CRCB and M05/9E variants) is within the ETK111's coverage. The Porsche Macan and Panamera with compatible 3.0cc engine codes are also covered. Always confirm the specific engine code before ordering.

Q: Is timing chain replacement on these engines suitable for home mechanics? Timing chain work on these V6 and V8 engine families is a highly complex procedure requiring thorough knowledge of VAG workshop procedures, access to the official workshop manual, and experience with precision engine work. It is not recommended for those without significant engine timing experience. For those with the appropriate skill level, the ETK111 provides the correct OEM-equivalent tooling — but the procedure should always be carried out strictly in accordance with the manufacturer workshop manual and to all specified torque values.
