Check your belly pan during and after each periodic maintenance to be sure it is intact and properly secured. This unsung hero may be out of sight, but neglecting it can lead to more serious and expensive vehicle damage.

The gauge design and lighting blend with other dash gauges to give it a classy, factory-installed look. We've even prepared a detailed photo tutorial outlining the installation, so the fun can start as soon as you open the box.

V-Checker Pro is a huge step up the diagnostic ladder. Compatible with the CAN data interface used on 2005 and newer VAG vehicles, it is a full-featured repair scanner that reads and displays critical system data, and performs reset and test functions to speed and confirm repairs. Both scanners operate on vehicle power through the data link connector, so there are no batteries to replace.
