One of the most critical pieces of data collected by your vehicle's ECU is the amount of air available for combustion at a given point. This data is collected as a voltage reading across a heated wire within a sensor housing. This wire is easily contaminated over time, delivering false readings to your ECU, causing an array of potentially serious issues ranging from poor idle to losses in engine power output. If you've pulled a specific MAF fault code, or are simply experiencing poor engine performance, ECS offers an assortment of replacement options to resolve the problem.

During suspension work, there are a few critical tools that make installation and removal infinitely more simple. In order to remove the retaining nut at the top of struts on European cars, a dedicated tool that fits the unique shape of the strut mount is required.

For professional quality work, Schwaben Specialty Tools has assembled a collection of premium Strut Nut Sockets in all the most popular sizes for your European car.

If you're beginning to notice oil drips on the ground, a burning oil smell or smoke from underneath the hood, a leaking valve cover gasket may be the culprit. A common gasket to leak on VAG engines, the valve cover gasket is nothing to ignore. Keeping the oil inside your engine is paramount to engine health and longevity. If there is a leak that you're not aware of, your oil can dip to dangerous levels. Genuine OEM and Elring Valve Cover Gasket Sets include 8 cam plugs and both left and right side gaskets.
