Timing Chain Tensioner Tool – Essential Tool for Accurate Camshaft Timing Setup
This timing chain tensioner tool is engineered for
use on Porsche 955 and 958 Cayenne as well as the Porsche 970
Panamera, providing precise control over chain tension during camshaft
timing procedures. Designed to deliver the correct tension on the primary
timing chain, this tool ensures stable and accurate camshaft alignment while
performing timing chain replacement, camshaft servicing, cylinder-head repairs,
or full engine rebuilds.
Fits:
Accurate timing chain tension is critical for Porsche’s high-performance V6 and V8 engines. Without the correct tension, cam timing can drift—leading to misfires, VVT faults, power loss, and even severe engine damage. This specialised tensioner tool guarantees consistent and professional timing accuracy on every job.
What the Timing Chain Tensioner Tool Does
This tool is used to:
- Apply
precise tension to the primary timing chain during service
- Prevent
camshaft movement while setting or adjusting timing
- Support
accurate alignment of camshafts and crankshaft
- Ensure correct chain slack and tension for VVT operation
- Improve
safety and consistency during timing chain and guide replacement
- Provide stable positioning for professional engine rebuilds
By replicating operational chain tension, the tool ensures timing is set exactly where the engine expects it to be.
Why Timing Chain Systems Fail on Porsche Cayenne & Panamera Engines
Timing chain issues on Porsche V6/V8 engines often arise due
to:
- Chain
stretch from heat and high mileage
- Worn
chain guides or rails creating slack or drift
- Tensioner
fatigue, particularly on older models
- VVT
cam phaser wear, affecting timing angles
- Oil
sludge or low lubrication, reducing tensioner effectiveness
- Incorrect chain tension during previous servicing
- Thermal expansion causing chain elongation
Symptoms include timing rattle, hesitation, fault codes, poor performance, and rough idle.
Why You Should Replace or Use a Precision Timing Chain Tensioner Tool
Using a high-quality timing chain tensioner tool ensures:
- Accurate timing chain tension during setup
- Correct
camshaft alignment, preventing timing deviation
- Protection against piston-to-valve interference
- Proper VVT system calibration
- Reduced risk of long-term engine damage
- Professional,
repeatable results during timing and rebuild work
- Confidence when servicing complex Porsche engines
This tool is essential for any workshop performing timing chain or camshaft repairs on modern Porsche Cayenne and Panamera engines.

Charger and trickle charger (5.0 A). The increased charging power reduces the battery's charging time.
An additional charge mode for Porsche lightweight batteries (lithium-ion) facilitates their use in motor sports.
Please note if your vehicle does not have a constant battery supply to the cigarette lighter you will need to purchase an extra adaptor (no. 95804490075) which connects direct to the battery.
