Because of the location of the power window switches in most vehicles, they can be extremely vulnerable to damage. Opening your door to get out in heavy rains or a window left down at an inconvenient time can water log these delicate switches and ruin internal electronics. Replace yours to restore function and make your windows operational again.

Protect your valuable alloy wheels from damage; use Protecta lug bolt sockets from Schwaben.

Don't risk an expensive wheel repair; keep a set of Protecta Sockets in your tool box.

Fresh coolant is paramount to safe & reliable engine operation. The process of bleeding the air out of your cooling system during a coolant refresh is tedious & therefore often neglected. ECS offers a highly convenient solution to the tedium & frustration associated with coolant servicing – the Schwaben Coolant Evacuation Kit.

Use the same tool to fill your radiator, allowing the pressure to resume to 0 psi, completing the procedure.

A great way to begin to give your vehicle a completely smoked out appearance. Looks fantastic on both dark or light colored vehicles. Even at these great prices, you don't have to overly worry about quality as they come with a limited lifetime warranty! Another fantastic product from ECS Tuning.

The impact driver is a fast and effective way to remove tight or corroded screws and bolts, reducing the chance of rounding off--or rounding out--the fastener head. Insert a slotted or Phillips head screwdriver bit into the driver. Place the screwdriver bit into screw head, and strike the driver with a hammer. The impact drives the bit inward as it rotates the screw, breaking it loose. Reverse the tool to tighten fasteners. For stubborn bolts, remove the black screwdriver bit adapter head, and replace it with any 3/8 - inch drive socket.

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. In fact, after repeated heat cycling and several oil changes performed with pliers and other makeshift tools, the original plastic filter housing body gets pretty ratty. 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.

Trying to assemble a complete LED lighting kit for your interior, one bulb at a time, can be a frustrating experience. Bulbs sourced from different manufacturers commonly vary in brightness, and commonly have different color values. Some won't fit the bulb holders when you get them; others trigger false bulb-out alerts on the dash. That's why interior lighting kits from Ziza are custom assembled for your make and model, then tested repeatedly with hand-picked LED arrays to assure uniform appearance. Each kit has its detailed photo tutorial to make light work of your installation.

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 ST. 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.

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.

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.
