During suspension work, there are a few critical tools that make installation and removal infinitely more simple. In order to remove the retaining nut at the top of struts on European cars, a dedicated tool that fits the unique shape of the strut mount is required.

For professional quality work, Schwaben Specialty Tools has assembled a collection of premium Strut Nut Sockets in all the most popular sizes for your European car.

The bulbs are sold in a pack of two and are compatible with any system that accepts D3S bulbs.

You won't see this bodyguard protecting your undercarriage and engine from damage. Known as the belly pan, this undercover agent works quietly, fastened out of sight beneath your car where it fends off attacks by water, snow, ice, and road hazards.

ECS Tuning proudly introduces our line of premium, corrosion-resistant rotors: GEOMET®. GEOMET® is a special coating containing metal oxides, zinc, and aluminum flakes, sprayed over the entire rotor surface to ensure complete coverage, and baked on at 600 degrees to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust far better than paints or other conventional coatings. Slotted or drilled and slotted, you can expect your new GEOMET® rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your B7 A4's alloy wheels.

Your rear differential is the last stop in a spectacular sequence of powerful oscillations, gyrations, and vibrations - all in the pursuit of turning chemical energy into kinetic energy. This is only possible if the right parts receive the right forces. It's to this service that engine, transmission, and differential mounts are dedicated - and ECS Tuning engineers some of the best in the world. The ECS Rear Differential Mount for your B6 A4 is a product of countless hours of research and development, minimizing driveline deflection while maximizing strength.

Unique Audi power seat controls add a touch of class to any interior. Direct fit replacements. Just pop off the old ones with a small screwdriver, and snap the new ones in place.

Dual mass flywheels are nice in theory, until you have to foot the bill for a new one. Ouch. Don't worry, we have a solution you and your wallet can live with. Just install our complete Valeo single mass flywheel kit. An exact fit replacement for the dual mass system, it comes complete with a new friction disc with damper springs, fresh release bearing, and installation hardware. Unlike the dual mass, the single mass flywheel can be resurfaced in the future to extend its service life even more.

Keeping the oil inside your engine is paramount to engine health and longevity. If there is a leak that you're not aware of, your oil can dip to dangerous levels. The valve cover, chain tensioner, and camshaft seals are a common place for leaks. Years of extreme temperatures degrade the gaskets and cause failure. ECS offers complete Valve Cover Gasket and Chain Tensioner Seal Kits for your Audi B6 A4 1.8T for a thorough servicing of these critical components.
