Odds are, your worn and faded center console armrest latch is broken by now. Odds are also pretty high that you're tired of trying to rest your arm on that wiggling lid. You could buy a repair button and fiddle around getting the latch working again, but you'd still have that nasty stained and faded surface looking up at you. We have a better idea: a completely new center armrest lid, with perfect fitment for your Audi B7 A4 2.0T.

Is your belly pan missing cracked or broken?

Wheel bearings are one of the most crucial components of a car's suspension. Located in the wheel hub, brake drum, or rotor itself, the bearings support the full weight of the vehicle while allowing the wheels to rotate smoothly within a steel enclosure. Dysfunctional bearings are simply the result of the rigors of daily driving, and should be replaced at the first sign of failure. Worn bearing symptoms range from loud noise emanating from the wheel hubs to rough ride characteristics. ECS presents several bearing solutions as well as an invaluable installation kit.

More than likely, you are going to replace the radiator in your vehicle at least once. The joints where the cores meet the end tanks tend to get weak and are the first place to spring a leak.

ECS now offers B5 A4 1.8T owners a the premium Valeo Cooler Radiator replacement to address these serious concerns professionally. This is the factory original style radiator, guaranteed to fit perfectly at the stock location.

The gauge design blends with other dash gauges to give it a classy, factory-installed look.
