    I recently acquired a load of VW tools from a retired VW mechanic and cannot identify some of them. Any assistance with descriptions or links is appreciated.


    VW Tool 4489 (Zelenda) - Most likely coil spring compressors for struts, but for air-cooled, water-cooled, or even both?


    VW Tool 3096/2


    VW Tool 4480/2


    VW Tool 771/2

    Quickest way to find out is a trip to a VW dealership parts counter with the list of tool numbers.

    I was thinking of that, but IIRC they wouldn't have any listings for obsolete tools. Then again, it might be worth a shot.

    Not sure what it is but "typ 17" and "typ 32" would suggest it's designed for use on A1 and B1 chassis cars.
    VW Engineers design things so that no one else can work on them. GM engineers design things so that everyone has to work on them.

    I spot checked a number of your tools at http://tools.vw.com and located them. Please try and locate the tools there. That is the exclusive web site for VW dealers to purchase tools. Good luck!

    I was able to ID half of the tools via that link. That's at least a step closer than where I was before.

    Seriously? I have a copy of the Zelenda catalog from 1969 and that tool isn't listed. What you're saying makes sense, though.

    VW Tool 4489 (Zelenda)
    I learned from someone on The Samba that this is the following:
    Compressor
    For removing/installing the rear axle on Rabbit, Jetta, GTI, pickup, and Scirocco.


    I'm wondering if they will work on the MK2 as well.

    3096/2 is an arbor for driving in a bearing or race into a case
    4494 is defenatly a sprocket puller but i dont know which motor
    771/2 looks like a gear puller
    3006 is a bracket that goes in a floor jack or trans jack that hold a trans or diff or something while you put it in the car. In the pic its up side down, that round peg thing goes in the jack.

    That TYP 17 and TYP 32 thing is a guage for making a mark for TDC on a flywheel. Some of the replacement flywheels and flexplates didn't come with a TDC mark. So what you would do is find TDC, put the new flywheel on without turning the motor, probably by holding it with another bracket, then the threaded part would go in a bell housing bolt hole and you set the guage , flat part, and then made your mark on the flywheel.
