Accurate camshaft timing is critical to any engine's smooth and reliable operation. When your engine's computer cannot obtain a correct camshaft position reading, valve timing, fuel injection, and air intake parameters cannot be specified - resulting in stalling, idling, and general power delivery issues. ECS offers both OEM BMW and aftermarket Camshaft Position Sensors for your E39 BMW M5 - allowing your engine to run at peak performance and reliability.

Trying to assemble a complete LED lighting kit for your interior, one bulb at a time, can be a frustrating experience. Bulbs sourced from different manufacturers commonly vary in brightness, and commonly have different color values. Some won't fit the bulb holders when you get them; others trigger false bulb-out alerts on the dash. That's why interior lighting kits from Ziza are custom assembled for your make and model, then tested repeatedly with hand-picked LED arrays to assure uniform appearance. Each kit has its detailed photo tutorial to make light work of your installation.

Camber, caster, & toe-in are the three axes that wheels operate around. Camber is measured by the degree of positive or negative deviation over the "X-axis" of your suspension. When you fit aftermarket suspension, wheels, or bushings to your vehicle, camber is the primary recipient of undesirable change. Without an adjustable arrangement, obtaining a balanced stance is impossible. Powerflex PowerAlign Adjustable Front Camber Bolts are made using 12.9 tensile strength, corrosion-resistant, zinc plated steel - allowing for up to 1.75 degrees of camber customization.

Heavily worn or damaged ignition wires place your engine at risk of cylinder misfire. When one or more cylinders misfire, power declines dramatically, and the safety of each engine component is instantly compromised. By replacing each spark plug wire in one servicing, the probability of this catastrophic consequence is significantly reduced. Karlyn has developed a Spark Plug Wire Set for your B4 Passat VR6 that installs the same as the factory set, utilizing stock lengths for a clean engine bay.

Your BMW F30 features highly individualized design elements that make successfuly complementing the vehicle with aftermarket wheels a serious challenge. The Alzor 716 has thin split spokes that widen as they terminate into the lip, accentuating rather than distracting from the 3 Series' natural steel musculature. Square or staggered sets of four wheels are available, each finished in gunmetal and featuring a machined face.

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.

The VANOS system in the S54 inline-six engine is a finely-tuned variable valve timing adjuster, relying on high pressure oil to function effectively. This high pressure oil is filtered to remove impurities in the oil, which may otherwise damage the expensive unit, turning it into an expensive paperweight. A clogged filter results in oil starvation: a no-no for VANOS. Servicing the VANOS filter at regular 30k mile intervals will help ensure this does not come to pass. ECS Tuning offers several VANOS filter service kits to address not only the filter service, but oil leaks as well.

An often overlooked piece when maintaining the suspension of your vehicle is the strut mount. Being the part that connects the strut to the body of the car, the strut mount is a vital part to how your vehicle handles on the road. Strut mounts should be replaced each time the strut assembly is replaced due to age or wear. Another sign the mount has gone is a clunking sound from the wheel wells while driving.

The problem is widespread and chronic: cam followers for the high pressure fuel pump in FSI engines are prone to wear. Savvy FSI owners periodically pull the pump and check the follower to avoid costly fuel pump and camshaft damage.
