Now they've put the power of Raw Science to work in a complete professional car care line that combines surface-safe cleaners with lasting protectants and sealers. Stop squirting dish detergent into a bucket. Remove the toughest dirt, even from alloy wheels, and restore your car's exterior and interior finishes to a rich, lasting luster.

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. Impacts to the fins themselves can cause holes to form. Corrosion and clogging from the inside can make cooling less than effective and compromise coolant flow. Replace your leaking unit with a quality replacement and get that jug of coolant out of your back seat. This is a factory original style radiator from Valeo and will fit perfectly into the stock location.

Over time your wipers start moving slower and start to skip until the linkage freezes up. Occasionally, simply replacing wiper blades is not enough to keep your windshield reliably clean. If the transmission or linkage is damaged, your wiper action may slow or begin skipping, until eventually the motor spins freely, ceasing wiper arm movement entirely. Changing the windshield wiper transmission allows for a secure connection between the motor and wipers, giving you peace of mind that your B7 A4 2.0T is safe and reliable.

Connect with your car in an entirely new way. Why settle for just a boost gauge?

The P3Cars gauge is a state-of-the-art digital data center that displays critical vehicle metrics like coolant temp, intake air temp, exhaust temp, throttle plate, & RPM with shift light - as well as peak recall and run/record data, right inside your cabin.

To secure shocks and struts to their mounts, the retaining nut must be torqued to its proper specification using a torque wrench. Strut nut sockets allow for the use of an allen wrench to hold the damper shaft while utilizing your torque wrench on the socket to achieve proper torque. An improper torque value may result in premature mount failure - or worse. Some aftermarket strut nut sizes differ from what was originally found on the vehicle. Please measure your nuts to be sure - alternatively, pick up our Schwaben 5 Piece Strut Nut Socket Set and be covered for all common sizes.

Like any advanced engine, your V8 benefits from cooler intake air temperatures. Cooler air is denser, which means more oxygen with every stroke. More oxygen means you can burn more fuel, and this means MORE POWER! One cause of higher intake air temps is heat soak of the intake manifold, caused by heat transfer from the cylinder head through the stock gaskets. these composite Power Gaskets insulate the manifold from the much hotter surrounding components. A 30-50 degree cooler manifold results in an astounding 20-30 degree cooler air temperature.

Periodic fluid/filter changes remove harmful dirt and metallic particles to head off transmission failures and expensive repairs. Fresh fluid renews additive packages to improve shift quality and performance. ECS stocks what you need to perform routine service operations: from filters and gaskets, to premium fluids that meet stringent OEM standards. If you think it's time for a change, we can help.

Hard, heavy carbon buildup on the backside of the intake valves on your 4.2L causes multiple performance issues that commonly include rough idle, poor fuel economy, acceleration hesitation, and sometimes, an illuminated check engine light. The cure for heavy deposits? Manual cleaning; and that means removing the intake manifold to scrape away the carbon. The last thing you want to do is make a vacuum leak by reusing the old gaskets. The good news? ECS Tuning has assembled an intake manifold gasket kit to seal things tight when you're done.

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 strict adherence to precise engineering.

Experienced enthusiasts have learned over time the secrets to achieving a tight and unified performance-oriented chassis. High-quality bushings and mounts have proven to be one of the most rewarding, albeit less conspicuous, additions to a performance car. The ECS Heavy-Duty engine snub-mount anchors your powertrain using a single direct-fit, full polyurethane piece - allowing the full measure of torque to reach the pavement under hard acceleration.

ST coilovers by KW are made of high grade, galvanized steel, and come with a 5 year limited warranty. With engineering tailored specifically to your vehicle and adjustable ride height, you can lower your ride while retaining factory fitment and comfort. All this and free shipping. Don't wait.

When the 2.0t engine was introduced, the rubber diaphragm in the original diverter valve failed regularly, even at stock boost levels. The improved “D” diverter valve has a piston valve design that eliminates the original, failure-prone rubber diaphragm. Spend more time driving, less time fixing!
