Big project ahead TB service, VC gaskets +cam tensioner seal's. Been wonder if it's possible to rent a cam locking tool as wel as cam chain locking tool. Maybe someone in the area would like to borrow one. I know I'm a stranger, but I would leave cash deposit if necessary.
Sincerely

well, you have to give us specific detail. what type of Engine like a year engine size and AVK or etc. We are trying to catch something in the air.

All that is needed is whether it is a V6 or V8. Code is overkill.

Honestly I was under imperssion that v6 and v8 use same tools - guess I was wrong. It's a 2001 a6 2.7T
Thank you guys

2.8/2.7T use the same tools.

3.0(v6) and V8 use those horse shoe looking cam locks that slide onto the camshafts themselves one the valve covers are off:

^I'm not sure if there's a specific set for the 3.0 and a separate one for the V8 though.

The V8 uses a pin and bar like the v6. The bar is just longer, pin is the same. The funky horseshoes are for the crappy 3.0 only.

I knew that.

..I was just checking to make sure that you did.

Gotta keep you on your toes!

But I think we got little off topic. So far we know take I live in ct, got 2.7t and huge project ahead but still no tools

Not sure where you're getting the parts but some online Audi suppliers offer tool rentals with TB service orders.

Jcman I do know that. Unfortunately I use CPI in Hartford as a parts supplier (They been good with all my previous audi's ), but they do not offer tools rental... That's why I posted here, to seek for some friendly help
