An integral part of the emissions system, the crankcase ventilation valve lets the crankcase breathe. This allows proper intake and exhaust flow and proper running and operation. Over time, under-hood heat damages the CCV, venting excess oil into the engine compartment. ECS offers several solutions for your 740i crankcase ventilation issues. Choose from OEM, ECS Assembled, or URO Crankcase Ventilation Valves and Valve Kits.

If there's one thing Porsche owners expect, its a responsive, well modulated brake system. Long pedal travel and a "vague" feedback just won't do. The next time you hit the brakes, grab higher with less pedal travel and better modulation by installing a GT3 master cylinder. This is an exact fit upgrade. Keep your existing lines, hardware, and fluid reservoir, but benefit from the master cylinder installed on Porsche's premium performance machine.

If you hear or feel a thumping under your center console while turning corners or accelerating, it's likely the center support bearing in your cardan shaft has failed.

The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system used on the VW 1.8T engine is critical to proper engine operation. Worn hoses may crack & leak gases due to extended exposure to high temperatures, oftentimes triggering a check engine light. If you're considering replacing any PCV hose, the wisest solution is a complete Silicone PCV Hose Kit, engineered by ECS for superior durability & longevity. The 3-ply, fiberglass-core silicone design resists heat and chemical degradation far better than the OEM rubber system, while stainless steel smooth-band hose clamps guarantee fitment.

ECS Tuning MKV Jetta 2.0T Grille Kits offer a more aggressive, menacing look to the front of your car.

ECS Exact-Fit stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and dependable stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure. Even when new, factory style fabric mesh lined rubber hoses are prone to expansion under the pressure of hard braking, whether it be highway panic stops or threshold braking at the track. Our lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, affording expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel.
