Source for Audi Tools Or Rentals
I'm getting ready to put a new timing belt on my 1990 V8 Quattro, and
need the crank locking tool, *3197 I think, does anyone know where I
could rent it, or have one I could rent, or worst case scenario, a
cheap source, the only one I've been able to find so far is $127.00
for a tool I'm going to use once every 80,000 miles.
Thanks for your help

John,
IIRC, quite a few people have made up a copy of the crank locking tool - all
you have to do is find a good weldor (or DIY with your own welder). Some
online parts places have tool rentals - like Blau:
