Does anyone have a master list of VAG Special tools, including Skoda stuff? I took a punt on a job lot of specialist tools on ebay, but didn't have time to do the research before I bought. My expectation is that if some of it is no use to me as they'll be for more modern cars, it'll be useful for other people, and I can pass it on at bargain prices to make some of my money back. I've got VW listings (thanks to my source on those!) but there's no easy X-ref between the VAG and Skoda numbers, although I bet a lot of the tools are the same. Anyone who helps me find out what these are can have first refusal on any spare tools! So for example: In this listing, there's a oil seal tool, a valve spring compressor that fits to the rocker studs, and a few more bits I don't recognise. I'm wondering if the big C-Spanner will work on Strut inserts, but I don't suppose I'll be that lucky! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140855915...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648#ht_500wt_1363 and then there's this one... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140856411...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648#ht_500wt_1363
If they have the VW number on them a google search will bring up a US site that shows the application, can't remember the sites name, sorry
You could try here : http://www.samstagsales.com/vwaudi.htm Its a US company but they should use the same OE tool numbers
Thanks... tried them already (sorry, I should have mentioned that in my first post) but they don't use the Skoda ref numbers Best way I've found so far is using this site - via google, as it doesn't have a search function. http://elsaweb.spaghetticoder.org
Cheers Mr RJ. I sent you an email with a super nerdy spreadsheet attachment. It includes the ones I already found in ElsaWeb, to save you duplicating the effort. I'm planning to take some pics and post them up too.... will get to that.
RJ Came up with some useful info on this stuff. I'll post some pics and things in the next day or so.
Ok.. slight delay, but here are some of the pics. Some sort of press - can't quite figure out how it attaches. Clamped onto the hub maybe? Gear puller, for pulling gears off of shafts No idea what these are for - some sort of spacer wedge - maybe gearbox related. Gearbox Circlip Pliers Bush / bearing installation press?? More to follow....
