Odds are your center console armrest latch is broken by now. Odds are also pretty high that you're tired of trying to rest your arm on that wiggling lid. You could buy a repair button and fiddle around getting the latch working again. But you'd still have that nasty coffee stain to look at on the old lid. We have a better idea: a completely new center armrest, available in three colors, cloth or leather covered. Choose from black leather or velour, or gray or beige leather covers.

The coil system in your engine has a big job to do. It takes the power from the battery and juices it up to the power numbers needed for the spark plugs. While this might seem like a singular duty, if these packs cease up, you will experience multiple issues. Faulty coil components may cause a slight or not so slight misfire, bad fuel economy, loss in power, and in some rare cases loss of braking performance and power steering problems. To restore engine power, replace those worn coil packs and while you're at it, replace the other components as well to ensure optimum performance.

Today's modern engines were made with complex tools that only dealerships seem to have on hand. This forces one to take their vehicle to a dealer in order to get routine service. With these new tools from Schwaben, you can do this service yourself. Whether you need to do up your brake calipers, remove lug bolts and trim, ignition coils, or tighten your timing belt, Schwaben has the tool for the job. These high-quality and long lasting tools will do the job right the first time, giving you more time to enjoy your vehicle where it belongs, on the road.

Back in the old days, changing your oil was something you just did with ease. Then again, motors were easy to work on and weren't entrenched with electronics. If you want to bring back those old days and make your oil changes simple, this new Large Oil Filter Removal Tool will do the trick. This part was designed and engineered by Schwaben to fit snug into the bottom of the filter. It uses a 3/8 ratchet to make your oil service a breeze. This is the perfect solution for anybody looking for an easier way to access that hard to reach filter.

If you want that race car feel from your car's clutch, this new ECS 6-Speed Clutch Bleeder Block is just the thing. With this new block in place shifting will be made more pleasurable, as you will be able to feel your clutch system working through your left foot, which can lead to smoother shifts and increased performance from the faster engagement of the pressure plate. It's made from aluminum, which allows our block to be far more durable than your stock plastic unit. It even features a "speeder bleeder" design valve which allows for simple bleeding of the clutch.

The Audi R8 is the definition of style, but sadly, there are not many items that can go from it to the Volkswagen MKIV. The engine won't fit and the transmission won't either, but if you are determined to get some of the R8 style on your car, this new LED Trunk Light Retrofit Kit from ECS Tuning is for you. When you open your trunk hatch, you will be bathed in white light, allowing you to see everything like never before. They will look brilliant and last for years. No matter if you enjoy a bit of late night shopping, or if you want to show off a nice sound system, this kit is it.

Nothing improves the appearance of your vehicle like new headlights for your Volkswagen Jetta MKIV. Whether you want European lighting, Angel Eyes, HIDs or US Spec Lighting, ECS Tuning has all the bases covered. Lighting, unlike most of the other bits on your exterior, is fairly easy to upgrade. Wheels and body kits can cost quite a bit of money and are hard to install on your own. Plus, they might go a bit over the top at times. These headlights will upgrade the look of your vehicle, while keeping it simple and some might even improve your nighttime lighting.

Brake service is an important aspect of ownership and an excellent way to increase performance with dedicated pads, rotors, calipers, and lines. Unfortunately, without the proper tools, brake services that involve bleeding are two-man jobs without the right tools and pressing caliper pistons in can be a pain. That's why we have Brake Bleeder Tools and Caliper Piston Tools for you, discounted now, to make that next brake job a breeze.
