FAQs

Can this kit be used on other Audi engines?

No, this kit is specifically engineered for Audi 20V engines with engine codes ADR/APT only.

Do I need to remove the cylinder head?

No, one of the primary features of this kit is that it allows for seal replacement while the cylinder head remains on the engine.

What tools are included in the kit?

The kit includes a compressor unit assembly, the OEM 3364 valve spring holding tool, the OEM 653/3 pressure hose, and the OEM 3365 valve stem seal replacer.

Do I need an air compressor?

Yes, an external compressed air source is required to use the pressure hose effectively to keep the valves closed.

Is this kit suitable for a beginner?

This kit is intended for users with professional mechanical experience, as working with valve train components requires technical precision to avoid engine damage.

Troubleshooting

Valve slips when pressure is applied

Ensure the pressure hose is correctly seated and the cylinder is at Top Dead Center (TDC) to hold the valve against the seat.

Difficulty compressing the valve spring

Check that the OEM 3364 holding tool is aligned perfectly with the valve spring retainer before applying downward force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is designed exclusively for Audi engines with ADR/APT codes. Always verify your engine code before attempting to use this tool.

Setup: Before starting, ensure you have a regulated compressed air supply ready. Position the vehicle in a stable environment and remove the spark plugs.
