Hi, i am new here, and i have a 80 B4 2.6 12v, i buy the timing belt kit 1 year ago, and i don't change. In Brazil i dont find the tool to hold the cams, so, i need do this without the tool. Any tutorial to me? Sorry about my english, is very bad..

Rusty Spokes

You really need the tool..it is almost impossible to set the cam timing without the tool. See if Amazon will ship to Brazil..the tools you need are very cheap. See the link:

Man, thank you, I had seen a very expensive in a European site, it cost 170 euros, freaked out, I'll try to buy the Amazon, the US dollar this expensive commodity here in Brazil, but still worth it, thank it.

Rusty Spokes

Você é muito bem-vindo.

That tool says it's for 5 valve engines.

Rusty Spokes

From the description on Amazon:

NOTE: tool works ONLY with AUDI 1991-1997 V6 2-valve engines. It is NOT applicable to any 5-valve en
ENGINE

It will work on the 2.8/2.6 12v

And I'm an idiot. Sorry about that I didn't read it correctly. My whole week has been like that. I should probably not post anymore.

Thanks for correcting me Rusty.

Hey, bad news, i simulated the amount that would go to send the tool for me , here in Brazil , believe it or not , one $ 8 tool, would come to me for more than $ 50 , with a beautiful crisis we are taking in Brazil , $ 1 equals more than 4 real here , out of which over $ 50 things are taxed here at 60 % off the wonderful government created another import tax, now beyond 60 % , we have the new 25 % , that is, would 85 % tax , would come to more than R $ 300 , a simple $ 8 tool. Impossible, prohibitive. I'll have to work it out without the tool. I have two options in mind : Ask a friend to make it for me , or ask a favor to my stepfather, who is a mechanic , only not like to ask for favors , but I'll probably have to ask ... (Yes, google translate, sorry)

( Off topic ) I plan to install a turbine in my car , single turbo, put the turbine on the passenger side , which is originally the air filter box it, someone here in the forum already installed a turbine in a 12v ? If yes, you had good results ?

Rusty Spokes

Dont know about the turbo on a 12v...somewhere there is a write up about a supercharger.

If you have a buddy here in the USA..get them to buy the tool and ship it to you USPS. Declared value (a gift) of under $50 (don't know how the tax deal on gifts from the USA in Brazil works) shipping would cost about $50.
