40v cam locking kit
Hi all,
I don't suppose anyone around the oxfordshire area has a cam locking kit for the 4.2 40v engine in my D2 A8 that I could hire? Will be doing the cam belt and ancillaries during the early part of May so wanted to be prepared. If not local, I'm prepared to travel, within reason. Many thanks in advance, Tom.

Sounds good. Pretty sure its the same. Is it the Sealey kit? Is it for sale or hire?

I have the Audi cam locking bar and crank locking pin for the D2 V8. You can borrow them for 29 plus P&P and a returnable deposit equal to the value of the items which i hope you will understand.

Sealey VS4827 yes. If you're sure it fits you can have it for 50£, I don't see needing it in near future.

I have the 40V 4.2 locking bar, and crank locking pin, and fan removal fork/wrench, but I don't have the cam sprocket pullers. You can borrow them for free if you are willing to pick them up from my house in Sidcup SE London, the catch is I'm only around 'till 3pm tomorrow, I got to catch a flight then away on holiday for 2 weeks.

There a guy on rs246 that rents out the full kit - inc the bits that only Audi do - dunno what price he charges though.

Thank you very much for your kind offers. I trauled the net and found a kit for quite a reasonable price so I bought it. My friend is a mechanic and he agreed to buy it after we'd completed the job.
Goran, small world, my brother used to live in Sidcup. Is your fan removal tool genuine Audi?

Sidcup is ok I've been here for too long.
I bought my tools from ebay, I think form Germany, I forgot now. There are still quite a few on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_od...+tool&_sacat=0 Good luck with the tools you bought, hope the cam belt job goes smoothly. I'm missing the sprocket puller T40001 which I think is pretty crucial. Oops, sorry just realised you asked about the fan removal. I think those were from German ebay too. I have Pin wrench 3212 Open-end spanner 3312 should be very cheap from ebay Guys in the States managed without these. And the locking pin 3204 can easily be substituted by a drill bit or similar.

The adjustable pin wrench would be a useful tool. It does need to be quite a low profile puller to remove the pulleys. The job shouldn't be too bad, just quite time consuming.
Did you tackle the procedure yourself?
