Get in touch with your bad self. You know how to drive a stick, so why not stick a fork in that marshmallow self-adjusting pressure plate. Why not go with a conventional disc, mated to a single mass flywheel. Our Valeo single mass flywheel clutch conversion kit takes your Audi back to its roots as a bare-knuckled brawler. The non-adjustable pressure plate puts you in touch with the clutch, restoring a crisp, responsive feel. The single mass flywheel costs less than a dual mass, and can be resurfaced in the future to extend its service life. You'll feel the difference.

This brawny 12-point socket set is a great set to have on-hand for any European car owner. The hefty ½ inch-drive shank accepts breaker bar, impact guns, or torque wrenches. Specially hardened to take the added abuse from a impact gun, these sockets are also coated for added protection and so you can tell them apart from non impact rated sockets. Significant internal depth allows for use with a range of applications with varying length shafts. Made of durable chrome vanadium steel, these sockets are tough enough to get the job done.

With the introduction of direct-injection fuel systems, cars have experienced greater power, efficiency, and emissions control.

Luckily, Schwaben has created this tool to help make things much simpler!

Audi Quattro rear wheel bearings can be a bear to replace. That's why we asked our R&D department to design a special tool that simplifies the process. Our Audi Quattro Wheel Bearing Service Kit is the product of careful design and extended testing. Unlike generic bearing tools, it comes with a unique horseshoe-shaped press plate that makes hub removal a snap. From drawing board to actual repairs, we made it right before putting our name on the box. Our online instructions show you how.

The lowered ride height achieved by upgrading your factory suspension is a consequence of the modification, not its purpose. With this knowledge, you can appreciate the value of more finely wrought suspension designs, like those from KW. The ST-line Performance Coilovers utilize tempered high-strength springs, hardened chrome piston rods, and galvanized zinc-plated strut housings - a consequence of which is a powerful, aggressive stance. But the enduring value of this arrangement lay in its durability, reliability, and reverence for precise engineering.

Don't let your differential come to a bad end; periodic fluid changes can keep it running smooth and silent for years to come.

Then add an extra measure of protection with ECS Tuning magnetic drain plugs, designed to attract and hold ferrous debris before it can abrade close-tolerance gears. Compared to the staggering costs of differential repair or replacement, this simple service procedure is a small investment.

Your Audi's generator, fans, water pumps and AC compressors all rely on accessory drive belts to do their job. Over time, cracking, glazing, and squeaking occur; for these reasons, replacing your drive belts before they crack or break is a highly prudent investment. Additionally, If the accessory belt snaps constantly, or is sloppy and loose in your vehicle, the only solution is a new tensioner. The ECS-assembled kit comes with everything you need to refresh your whole drive belt system, including belts, tensioner, and hardware.

Replacing cooling system components and performing a proper coolant flush will ensure a long life for your cooling system. Most of the cooling system components are exposed to very high temperatures and repeated thermal cycling. Heat-hardening causes warping and cracking that leads to coolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. Avoid headaches altogether and replace all problematic items at once to keep your cooling system running efficiently.

Experienced enthusiasts have learned over time the secrets to achieving a tight and unified performance-oriented chassis.

If your steering is starting to feel a bit rough, you notice metal flakes in the power steering fluid, or you hear an annoying noise from the pump, your power steering pump may be going out.

If your pump is starting to fail, or already has, replace your power steering pump to restore the smooth steering you felt when you first bought your vehicle.

Massive rotors, multiple-piston brakes, and advanced pads are glamorous, eye-catching upgrades to your vehicle. But experienced enthusiasts know that all that stopping power relies on adequately bled brake lines. Your brake fluid is incompressible, like a metal; but air is compressible, so ridding your lines of this gas is imperative for fully realized braking power and response. ECS has an array of solutions to tighten up your braking system, including a Power Brake Bleeder, multiple synthetic Brake Fluid options, and a premium Schwaben Brake Bleeder Wrench.

We don't know how you feel about it, but trusting your engine's most vital fluid to a plastic filter housing seems like a leap of faith.

Why not install a smart looking billet aluminum housing and take the guesswork and risk out of filter changes. These durable aluminum housings come with the proper installation socket, and take readily available standard drain plug seals.
