Crankshaft Turning Tool for VAG, as T40257, T40272

This crankshaft turning tool is designed for rotating and positioning the crankshaft during engine service operations on VAG engines. It is essential for timing procedures, engine assembly, and maintenance tasks requiring precise crankshaft control.

Design & Functionality

Different crankshaft and pulley designs require the use of two different special tools for 6- and 8-cylinder engines.

Both tools are identical in base design but, depending on the version, require either a centering pin or none for precise alignment.

For this reason, this crankshaft turning tool is designed as a 2-part system.

With this design, the tool can easily be converted into two different special tools:

• Without centering pin → as T40257
• With centering pin installed → as T40272

This ensures accurate centering and secure engagement.

Suitable for a wide range of VAG engines, including:

Petrol engines:
2.5L, 2.8L, 4.0L, 4.2L

Diesel engines:
