European car owners oftentimes find themselves using ineffective, dangerous, & cumbersome methods when repairing or replacing wiring harness connectors. Schwaben's latest release, the European Car Electrical Terminal Tool Kit, gives enthusiasts the exact tools required for bullet connectors, common ABS sensor and power connectors, trailer light plugs, and more. Extend harness life, ensure proper diagnostic equipment connectivity, and preserve wiring harness life with this superb release.

The belly pans provided for modern Audi’s have always appeared to be fragile, out of place, and cost-cutting parts. Many enthusiasts have chosen to run their cars without this protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine and drivetrain components. ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, 4.76mm thick 5052 aluminum, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

Light on weight. Long on looks. ECS 2-Piece front and rear brake rotors combine the natural advantages of a cast iron braking surface with the weight savings and rapid heat dissipation of an aluminum hat. Cast iron-gray and durable matte black hats create an eye-catching contrast that accents painted calipers behind open-faced alloy wheels. These beauties have all the extras: black anodized hats, cross-drilled and slotted brake faces, and unlike OEM, directionally vaned rotors for better cooling and heat dissipation over stock.

Take the danger and aggravation out of lifting your A3 with the ECS Tuning Jack Pad Adapter Kit. Designed to fit the head of a standard floor jack, the adapter has a round head that firmly engages the chassis jack pads. Positive engagement at jack head and chassis resists jack slippage and shifting, while the raised adapter head prevents damage to rocker panel trim and underbody panels. Made of black anodized aluminum for added strength and corrosion resistance, the adapter fits the head of most hydraulic floor jacks, including the Schwaben Low Boy.

An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract. Thus lowering the octane rating and leaving harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports that result in decreased power. Engineered in-house and manufactured here in the USA, the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can uses a highly efficient 4-chamber oil separator, decreasing oil ingestion and maintaining engine power output. The innovative design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.

ECS Tuning is proud to offer an upgrade to not only enhance your driving experience but also to add a sporty appearance to your interior. Our engineers worked meticulously to create an exact-fit extension for the OEM paddle shifters that extends the face of the paddle without compromising feel and operation.

These shifter extensions are available in billet aluminum with Silver or Black anodized finish or Carbon Fiber.

OEM strut mounts are known to wear within a very short lifespan, typically associated with annoying squeaks and groans. The ECS Tuning Performance Front Strut Mount offers significant performance to your vehicle's handling and long term durability. With the increased durometer over stock, the 75A durometer rubber strut mounts will better resist deflection and premature wear that commonly plagues the OE strut mounts. This is a must have if you are installing sport springs or coilovers!

A known weakness with the 2.0T engine, the factory diverter valve diaphragm has a tendency to wear and crack under stock boost pressure levels. The rubber material chosen for the diaphragm cannot withstand consistent boost diversion, and certainly will not contain the added boost levels that accompanies performance modifications. GoFastBits has developed a solution that only attends to the problem itself - the weak valve mechanism - replacing it with an aluminum housing & brass piston - saving you the time and money of unnecessarily replacing the entire unit itself.

Every 40,000 miles, your DSG transmission needs to be serviced. Picking the perfect kit can often be overwhelming, so the experts at ECS Tuning have put together this configurable Build Your Own DSG Service Kit which allows you to pick your favorite brand of each component and choose whether or not you need certain options.

An elegant solution to vague and imprecise steering, performance control arms with poly bushings let you feel the road through your fingertips. Factory rubber bushings are intended to buffer road sensations from steering input. But for the performance driver, a highly tactile connection to the road conveys more information about vehicle dynamics, sharpening driving awareness. That's why we're offering control arm assemblies already fitted with poly bushings that tighten suspension feel, restore vehicle safety, and last many miles longer than stock bushings. Stay in control.

For over a decade, Mark Malone has been writing tunes for engines. No other tune offers the performance, fuel economy, and exclusive features that the tunes from Malone Tuning offer. Malone tunes are not generic "tuning box" upgrades - a less effective method that often skews OBD2 data causing inaccurate injection and boost data since it is altered outside of the ECU. Malone allows for the fine adjustment of boost pressure and fuel supply according to specific RPM points. Each tuning file is edited by Mark Malone himself in order to perfect each aspect of the tune.

When it's time to do basic maintenance on your vehicle, it's much easier if you have everything that you need before you get started.

ECS offers a wide variety of oil service kits currently on sale though the month of May. Don't quite need an oil change yet? Buy now, save later!
