Pull the trigger. You ought to order these oxygen sensors, even if your car passed its last emissions test.

Tired of garage floor stains and adding oil at every fill up? Chronic engine oil leaks may be a sign that your B5 A4 V6 30v has a serious problem with its crankcase ventilation system.

ECS has PCV Service Kits that cure the cause and fix the damage. Available in three stages, pick the one that matches your car's symptoms, and start keeping your oil inside the engine, where it belongs.
