Contact your Sealey distributor to inquire about individual replacement components rather than purchasing a full replacement kit.

Rotate the engine manually in the direction of rotation until the timing marks align perfectly. Never force the pins into place.
Ensure all mounting bolts are fully removed and use the HP pump removal tool to exert even, consistent pressure. Do not pry with screwdrivers.
Before beginning any work, always verify your engine code matches the compatibility list provided in your specific vehicle service manual. The VSE6181 is compatible with the vast majority of Audi A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, and SQ5 diesel engines produced between 2003 and 2018. To maintain the integrity of the tools, ensure all pins and adapters are wiped clean of oil and debris after use. Store the components in the supplied blow-mold case to prevent moisture buildup and ensure that the machined surfaces remain free from nicks or rust. Never use impact wrenches on these locking tools, as excessive force can cause them to shear or deform.
