Your Audi's generator, fans, water pumps and AC compressors all rely on accessory drive belts to do their job. Over time, cracking, glazing, and squeaking occur; for these reasons, replacing your drive belts before they crack or break is a highly prudent investment. Additionally, if the accessory belt snaps constantly, or is sloppy and loose in your vehicle, the only solution is a new tensioner. The ECS-assembled kit comes with everything you need to refresh your whole drive belt system, including the tensioner assembly, accessory belt, and hardware.

The factory Audi B9 A4 transmission mount has a large void in the rubber damping medium, which results in excessive transmission movement under load. This movement results in drivetrain slop than can be observed when accelerating, decelerating, and shifting. This billet aluminum insert is designed to fill the large void in the factory transmission mount, and limit transmission movement without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any additional noise, vibration, or harshness into the cabin.

The belly pans provided for most Audi’s have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts. Many enthusiasts have even chose to run their vehicles without this protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine and drivetrain components. ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, 4mm thick 5052 aluminum, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

The belly pans provided for modern Audi’s have always appeared to be fragile, out of place, and cost-cutting parts. Many enthusiasts have chosen to run their cars without this protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine and drivetrain components. ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, 4.76mm thick 5052 aluminum, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

Light on weight. Long on looks. ECS 2-Piece front and rear brake rotors combine the natural advantages of a cast iron braking surface with the weight savings and rapid heat dissipation of an aluminum hat. Cast iron-gray and durable matte black hats create an eye-catching contrast that accents painted calipers behind open-faced alloy wheels. These beauties have all the extras: black anodized hats, cross-drilled and slotted brake faces, and unlike OEM, directionally vaned rotors for better cooling and heat dissipation over stock.

Occasionally, startup problems are not the result of low battery voltage, fuel pump issues, or ignition problems. Sometimes the starter motor itself is the culprit, typically failing suddenly and without warning. ECS Offers this quality replacement from Valeo to get your vehicle back on the road! No core charge necessary.

Maintaining adequate tension on the timing chain is its most basic purpose, keeping the correct level of slack in the chain to best balance noise levels and friction reduction. The second function of this deceptively advanced part is controlling cam timing, maintaining power through all rpms by rapidly adjusting the valve opening and closing event. Assembled By ECS Cam Chain Tensioner kits are available, allowing your 1.8T the opportunity to make maximum power and maintain efficient timing chain operation.

Why would you drill holes into your perfectly good front grille or bumper? Avoid drilling holes by using a tow hook mounted plate bracket from GMG!

On the B6 S4, a check valve stuck in the open position will drain hydraulic lifters and chain tensioners of oil when the engine is turned off, forcing the car to start with incorrect tolerances in the cylinder head. A rattling sound heard during startup is a typical sign of check valve failure. ECS assembled Oil Check Valve Service Kits include both replacement OEM VW/Audi check valves, a valley pan gasket, oil filter adapter gasket, oil spray valve, and both intake manifold gaskets for a thorough cylinder head servicing.

Take the danger and aggravation out of lifting your A3 with the ECS Tuning Jack Pad Adapter Kit. Designed to fit the head of a standard floor jack, the adapter has a round head that firmly engages the chassis jack pads. Positive engagement at jack head and chassis resists jack slippage and shifting, while the raised adapter head prevents damage to rocker panel trim and underbody panels. Made of black anodized aluminum for added strength and corrosion resistance, the adapter fits the head of most hydraulic floor jacks, including the Schwaben Low Boy.

An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract. Thus lowering the octane rating and leaving harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports that result in decreased power. Engineered in-house and manufactured here in the USA, the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can uses a highly efficient 4-chamber oil separator, decreasing oil ingestion and maintaining engine power output. The innovative design also catches as much blow-by gas as possible, bringing carbon buildup to an absolute minimum.
