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 Corrado VR6 that installs the same as the factory set, utilizing stock lengths for a clean engine bay.

If you need technical information about your VW, for repair or simply for personal satisfaction, a Haynes Repair Manual is a must-have item. DIYers will appreciate the detailed procedures and reference data that have made Haynes a go-to trusted source of information, and the industry benchmark for aftermarket technical books on European makes. Owners hungry for a better understanding of the technology and features that make VW special will enjoy the richly illustrated, detailed explanations of vehicle components, assemblies, and operating strategies.

Few MKV Jetta owners know just how good the suspension setup was on their vehicle when it left the factory. Because of worn or failing suspension bushings and control arms, it's likely your VW displays vague, imprecise steering feel and handling - characteristics entirely foreign to Volkswagen's original intentions. ECS offers the Vaico Front Control Arm Kit, pairing ball joints and inner bushings with left and right suspension A-arms for a thorough front suspension refresh.

The MKVI Golf R is noticeably more taught, agile, and precise in both handling and acceleration compared to its predecessor. Part of this success is due to a more aggressive suspension arrangement, something MKVI Golf R owners thoroughly enjoy. To really tighten up the Golf R's chassis, a beefier sway bar adds better lateral stability & even flatter cornering - an easy performance upgrade that is instantly noticeable and effective. Neuspeed, Racingline, ST, Autotech, and H&R solutions range from 22mm to 27mm according to your driving style.

Protect your valuable alloy wheels from damage; use Protecta lug bolt sockets from Schwaben. Each of the three common socket sizes comes wrapped in a protective plastic sleeve that shields the wheel bolt holes from damage caused when regular steel sockets are used to remove and install wheels.

Don't risk an expensive wheel repair; keep a set of Protecta Sockets in your tool box.

Increasing manifold boost pressure on your MKV GTI FSI requires cramming oxygen molecules into the smallest space possible - the result is greater cylinder pressure, and more power. Unless fuel supply can keep up with these increased demands, all that extra air will only serve to lean-out the fuel mixture excessively. ECS offers a simple and highly effective solution - the genuine OEM Golf R Fuel Injector Kit. The convenient kit includes all four Golf R injectors, four one-time-use fuel injector radial compensation rings, injector o-rings, support washers, and support rings.

Discreet, unobtrusive design modifications are what vintage VW tuners thrive on. The more discreet the change, the higher the yield in style and originality. US-spec MKII Golfs arrived with less substantive angular rear bumpers, along with a host of other design let-downs. ECS now makes it easy to restore some European design sensibility to your MKII with the Bremmen Parts rear bumper kit. The look is attainable at a price you can afford, and features the same texture and color as your original bumper.

Horn blasts and sideswipe near misses during lane changes are scary stuff. If you're lucky, all you get is a massive dose of horn before swerving back to your own lane. Where did HE come from? ECS has the cure, offering heated Blind Spot mirrors that expand your rear vision to include that guy shadowing your quarter panel. The mirror glass is split: one side has regular flat glass, the other side has a wide angle mirror lens that shows vehicles and other objects not easily seen in a standard side view mirror.

The belly pans provided for modern Volkswagens have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts. Many enthusiasts have chosen to run their cars without this protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine and drivetrain components. ECS has in-house designed and engineered a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, air-ventilated, 3/16” thick 5052 aluminum offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

Engineered by our R&D team, this new product addresses limitations of the plastic OE part. Its larger internal fluid passage increases flow for fast clutch engagement and release. To reduce flex and heat distortion, the new block uses no plastic whatsoever, replacing it with a solid block of machined aluminum, black anodized for hardness and corrosion protection. One look shows the added value of the new design; a test drive confirms it.
