The symptoms are annoying. The costs can be painful. DISA valves control intake manifold runner length to improve engine performance at different rpm. When they fail, the DISA valve bangs around in its housing, making a rattling noise accompanied by rough idle and off-idle hesitation. If your BMW experiences these symptoms, don't wait to fix it. In some cases, parts of the DISA--including a metal spreader pin--can be sucked into your engine, causing serious engine damage. Easy to replace, your new DISA screws to the side of the intake and comes with pre-installed sealing gasket.

Many VW MK4 R32 have logged a ton of miles to date, and most have road-weary suspension setups.

Whenever a service is performed that requires the removal of the valve cover, replacing the gasket is so simple and effective that it should be done every time.

When attending to your vehicle's ignition system, the best approach is to replace as many system components as possible at the same time. Doing so allows each part to wear evenly over time, maintaining an accurate service schedule. ECS assembled and genuine Mercedes-Benz Ignition Service Kits are conveniently bundled sets of sixteen spark plugs and sixteen ignition coil wires, allowing you to take care of these critical limited-life parts in a single servicing. Misfires, poor idling, and general poor engine performance can be remedied with one of three kits.

High-performance engines come equipped with a range of advanced components to sustain the higher operating temperatures that result from extended high-rpm driving.

However, this convenient feature can become a nuisance when the oil cooler seals crack and become brittle due to sustained exposure to heat. ECS assembled and Genuine Mercedes-Benz Oil Cooler Seal Kits include all seals and hardware to restore your engine's oil cooler operation to factory.
