Gains of 17hp and 14 lb-ft of torque over factory – better throttle response – a more aggressive engine and turbocharger sound – better fuel economy; APR has developed a stunning new 2x2 weave carbon fiber air intake system for the latest generation A3, incorporating the factory cold-air routing for a truly effective, dyno-proven engine upgrade. The unit arrives pre-assembled by APR, requiring simple hand tools for installation - the design of the intake eliminates the need for unsightly couplers and hose clamps, connecting to the factory turbo inlet pipe using the OEM hardware.

The heater core is a heat exchanger, much like the radiator, that transfers heat from engine coolant to the air inside the vehicle's cabin. Clogged heater cores transmit heat poorly, while leaking heater cores drip engine coolant into the cabin, creating a bad odor and sometimes dampened carpeting. If you are noticing a strong coolant odor while in the cabin of the vehicle, coolant loss without a visible leak, or poor heat output, chances are you have a bad heater core. When replacing the heater core, there are one-time-use seals and clamps that also need to be replaced.

Audi 8P A3 owners are becoming more familiar with the camshaft/cam follower failure issue that has plagued numerous VW/Audi models for years.

ECS has assembled two kits ideal for this approach. Stage 1 kits include the new camshaft, cam follower, gaskets and hardware, while Stage 2 kits add a new high-pressure fuel pump.

An unfortunate consequence of the modern closed PCV/Breather system is the unintended ingestion of oil vapor and carbon into the intake tract, 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 utilizes 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.

While the 4.2 FSI engine developed for the Audi RS4 represented several achievements in automotive engineering technology, a chronic issue surrounding exhaust gas recirculation across the intake valves presented itself in an alarming number of vehicles.

Stuffing new brake pads in your B6 A4 doesn't really qualify as a brake job, especially on high-milers and vehicles driven where the roads are salted in winter. Pads and rotors don't just wear out. Many suffer from rust scale accumulations, warping, and surface pitting that reduce braking efficiency--and extend stopping distances far beyond what Audi intended. Now you can install pads, rotors, and hardware at the same time to restore driving pleasure, and braking performance appropriate for a true driving machine. Stop where you want, when you want.
