When careful interrogation of the usual suspects doesn't identify the culprit stealing your coolant, you need a fresh approach. That's why we've put together a repair solution to correct chronic coolant leaks at the rear flange on 2.0Ts. Out of sight, this plastic flange is wedged between the rear of the engine and the firewall. As it warps from heat, a slow dribble of coolant bleeds the system, leaving you to fill the coolant jug--over and over again. Solve your mystery leak with a complete repair kit, and learn the tricks of replacing it with our free photo tutorial.

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation system on your Audi A5 is integral to the 2.0T engine's ability to manage blow-by gasses and maintain emissions control. The two-stage pressure relief valve channels air to the intake manifold and turbocharger while separating oil from the system. Symptoms of a problematic PCV system are rough idling, misfires, and general poor performance. ECS has assembled a complete PCV refresh kit for your Audi, including a PCV breather tube, Pressure Relief Valve, and new gaskets and hardware.

Reduce weight. Reduce heat. Reduce warping. ECS Tuning engineered 2-Piece semi-floating rotors offer real world benefits that can be felt on both the street and track! Our 2-Piece rotors combine the advantages of weight savings and rapid heat dissipation to provide a rotor superior to stock while preventing warping and extending component life. The reduction of unsprung weight improves handling characteristics under all situations. This reduction in rotational inertia allows for quicker acceleration, decreased braking distances, and more responsive handling.

Engineered by our R&D team, this new product addresses limitations of the plastic OE part. Its larger internal fluid passage increases flow for fast clutch engagement and release. To reduce flex and heat distortion, the new block uses no plastic whatsoever, replacing it with a solid block of machined aluminum, black anodized for hardness and corrosion protection. One look shows the added value of the new design; a test drive confirms it.
