Hotwin 058109217B Timing Cam Chain Tensioner Holding Tool Compatible with Audi VW 1.8T 2.7 2.7T

Did its job just like its supposed to. Broke the first one by overtightening which was my fault, not the tools.

I've bought three of these for cam timing on the ever popular 1.8T engines. These things absolutely suck. I cannot stress enough how bad and weak the plastic is on these, it's almost a joke.Do not under any circumstances purchase this product as it breaks immediately under any tension from a VVT into many tiny plastic pieces, which scatter all over your exposed head. You are better off finding a long similar sized bolt and cutting your own tool out of a large flat washer than using this... It's what I had to do, after having to clean up my head from plastic shards after they broke on me. Do. Not. Buy. This. Shame on these people for selling such a bad product

Product work perfectly. No issues at all. Not sure what everyone else did but mine worked perfectly. No cracks or breaks didnt even flex. Compressed the tensioner without any issue at all. Only negative I could say about it is that the bolt seems to be a tad to long. Workable but would be easier if it was maybe a 1/4" shorter. If not taking both cams out of gets in the way a little bit when rotating the tensioner out between cams and chain. It hits the head but if careful and observant you can manage it easily. Otherwise it's worked perfectly on 2 different cam chain tensioner now without any trouble at. Just take your time, dont over tighten it and go slowly allowing the tensioner to release some oil pressure slowly.

It broke after 2nd use and dont over tighten

Great tool at a great peice. I would Definitely order it again

This tool was worthless! I put off working on vehicle for a week in order to get the tools. I used my hand tools I work Ferry carefully and slowly and the two broke in half after just a few times. I use this tool correctly and with precision. I am a train and certified technician. I have worked for years rebuilding engines and different types of Automotive work with gas and Diesel.

2.5 stars.1. It worked as advertised and got the job done.2. It broke during use, which seems to be a common theme.3. It seems that this is a one time use product.

Tool broke first time using it. It wasnt bottomed out at all and the top flew off. I only found half of the top

When I ordered it it said it was going to take like 4weeks so I found another one and it came sooner that same night I tried to cancel the order, but they clearly did not listen so then a week later it shipped our and it still took 3 weeks to get here. I haven't even looked at the part as I now have 2 of them.Not cool. But they work how they are supposed to I used the other one on a 1.8t worked great

Plastic top piece cracked and broke on very first use
