Maintaining adequate tension on the timing chain is its most basic purpose, keeping the correct level of slack in the chain to best balance noise levels and friction reduction.

ECS offers the Üro Cam Chain Tensioner, allowing your 1.8T the opportunity to make maximum power & maintain efficient timing chain operation.

Alzor Style 627s are now available for your VW MKVI GTI. The machined matte-black wheels are well suited to the GTI, giving the appearance of a factory performance option rather than a randomly chosen, cheap upgrade. The 627s are also VIA certified, having passed tests that simulate extreme loads, curb impacts, and sudden blunt forces - giving you peace of mind that the wheel will not deform or lose air pressure over time. Sets of four ET45 and ET35 wheels are available, both including four 66.6mm to 57.1mm hub-centric rings and center caps.

The bold gunmetal gray spokes on the Alzor 628 have a large open face, perfect for showing off your new coilovers, two-piece rotors, and painted calipers. Each masculine spoke tapers between bright accents that are sure to complement any car color. Just in time for summer driving, this is a great time to add a set of big-footed alloys that look expensive, but won't break your budget.

An exceptionally clever method of servicing your MKV Rabbit's transmission fluid, the air compressor-assisted Schwaben DSG Transmission Service Tool makes the job easy, clean, and fast.

A blow molded case conveniently stores the DSG and Tiptronic filler adapters, screw cap bottle adapter, quick-fill valve and 5 ft of clear hose with clamps.

From JOM Germany comes this new 22 millimeter Front Sway Bar that was designed for one purpose, to keep you level. If your car is rocking like an ocean going vessel each and every time you go around a corner, it might be time for a new sway bar. A sway bar is a torsion spring that resists body roll motions. Sway bars provide two main functions. The first function is the reduction of body lean. The other function of anti-roll bars is to tune the handling balance of a car. Understeer or oversteer behavior can be tuned out by changing the proportion of the total roll stiffness.
