DikTalk Timing Tool Set for VW Audi EA888 1.8/2.0 TSI/TFSI Gen1–Gen3, 21‑Piece Workshop Kit, Black Oxide

DikTalk’s 21-piece timing tool set is a complete, upgraded toolkit designed to lock, align, and service EA888 Gen1–Gen3 1.8 and 2.0 TSI/TFSI engines used across VW, Audi, Skoda, and SEAT models from 2006–2018.

The kit expands on earlier Gen2 solutions by adding two crucial sockets for extended engine coverage, supports more than 30 engine codes, and replaces several OEM tool numbers. Every piece is made from treated steel with a black oxide finish to resist corrosion and withstand workshop use, and technical support plus replacement options are available if you need them.

What tools are included and how do they help during timing jobs?

The kit contains 21 specially shaped locking pins, camshaft and crankshaft alignment fixtures, and two newly added sockets that extend Gen2 coverage.

How durable and workshop‑ready are the tools?

Each component is machined from premium steel and given a black oxide finish to reduce rust and surface wear. The fit is designed for repeated use in a busy garage—sockets and pins resist rounding and the case protects delicate alignment faces between jobs.
