Audi Special tools
Hi,
I'm about to take on the job of changing my timing belt on my 100. In my research of the job I understand there are 2 special tools available, but hey are Over $150 ! Tools #'s 2079 & 2084 They are used for removal of crankshaft pulley and crankshaft bolt. Anyone know where to buy these at a reasonable price? Or are there improvised tools you can use instead?

That's really all you need, and it can even be done without that. The other one is, if I recall, just a torque magnifier. You can achieve the same result with a breaker bar and extension. To lock the camshaft sprocket, put a large screwdriver through the lifting eye and one of the camshaft sprocket holes. |

This is an I5? yes?
The screwdriver through the cam sprocket is a VERY high risk approach. (Belt can break and bend valves > pull head) Another high risk idea is a screwdriver in the timing hole to hold the flywheel teeth. (Break teeth > pull the trans) Some make their own tool for holding the crank. Others have had success by wrapping a strong rope around the dampener pulley. I recommend buying the TB kit from one of the on-line sources like Blaufergnugen. When you buy from them you can rent the tools for about $30 and return when done. They do ask for a BIG deposit until returned but you can trust that they will credit it when returned.
