The fuel filter in Porsche 996 Turbo GT2 and GT3 cars should be replaced at the 60,000 mile major maintenance, although more frequent fuel filter replacement is a prudent option, especially in areas where fuel quality is poor or inconsistent. Clogged fuel filters cause fuel starvation, especially noticeable when the engine is cold or under load. The fuel filter is wedged in the upper left corner of the engine compartment, near the coolant recovery bottle. It’s a tight fit, but once you know a few tricks it is not extremely difficult to replace.

Visual upgrades tie your car together. With more aggressive styling, your Audi can transform from a sedate performance sedan to something that reflects your enthusiasm for motorsport performance. Make your Audi B8 A4 S-Line or S4 look as awesome as it performs with our new Gloss Black Grille Accent set for a distinct visual upgrade designed for the discerning enthusiast.

The B9 A4 and S4 comes with quite underwhelming trunk illumination which is fine, as long as you only put your stuff on the left side of the trunk. There is one light on the driver's side and nothing but a cutout where a light housing should be on the passenger's side. We were frustrated so we designed a custom harness and coupled it with a matching Genuine Audi LED light housing for true OEM level integration.

Ball joints are one of the most critical wear items in your suspension. They connect the bottom of the front strut to the A-arm and are often responsible for twitchy, nervous and downright dodgy steering feel. When completing any suspension overhaul or upgrade ball joints should be thoroughly checked for split/torn boots and for any amount of play in the joint itself. Rennline's HD units will stand the test of time and provide superior performance over the other units on the market. Don't risk losing seconds per lap or worse a complete mechanical failure; change your ball joints now!
