Light on weight. Long on looks. The ECS Tuning 2-Piece 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. They Look Better, Too.

The belly pans provided for modern Audi's have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, 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, air-ventilated, 5052 lightweight aluminum, with all hardware, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

Periodic fluid/filter changes remove harmful dirt and metallic particles to head off automatic transmission failures and expensive repairs.

All parts and fluids have been selected to meet or exceed the requirements set forth by Audi for quality and longevity. Time For A Change.

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 or camshaft tensioner gasket may be the culprit. A common gasket to leak on Audi 2.7T engines, the valve cover gasket is nothing to ignore. Don't forget to always replace the camshaft tensioner gasket at the same time as these are also prone to leaking. ECS assembled and Genuine Audi Valve Cover Gasket Sets are available depending on how thorough your valve cover job will be.

The breather hoses found on the AEB/ATW Audi engines get brittle and crack after years of service. These cracks lead to a persistent oil leak and driveability issues due to vacuum losses.
