Hello! thanks for looking at my tools!

I designed the beetle to fit all Audi 3.2 and 3.0 supercharged engines.
The beetle is used to wedge underneath the pvc pipes connected to both driver side and passenger side valve covers. This wedge will preserve the tabs that are located inside of the pvc piping that allow a secure fit to the valve cover. Without these tabs, crankcase pressure can be lost, and the pipe will need to be replaced. Using this wedge is as simple as wrapping it around the cylindrical part of the valve cover and slide it underneath the pvc pipe connection. Once the beetle is fully wedged underneath the pipe, simply rotate the pipe clockwise and counterclockwise while applying a small amount of upwards force. You can use the side tabs on the beetle to slightly push up into the pipe to further wedge the tabs from its locked position. If done correctly you'll start to feel the rubber O-ring separate from the valve cover and the pipe will slide off with all of its tabs
