If the features that you expect on your vehicle such as window roll down, central locking, and alarm are not functioning as they should and you have checked everything else, it's time to replace the door latch. If your door lights don't come on when the door is opened, or the interior lights don't go off after the door is shut, you probably need one of these. Microswitches within the latch assembly control window roll down and central locking and can often fail. The Genuine Volkswagen Door Latch is exactly what you need to restore the functions you have become accustomed to.

Reduce weight. Reduce heat. Reduce warping. ECS Tuning engineered 2-Piece semi-floating rotors offer real world benefits that can be felt on both the street and track! Our 2-Piece rotors combine the advantages of weight savings and rapid heat dissipation to provide a rotor superior to stock while preventing warping and extending component life. The reduction of unsprung weight improves handling characteristics under all situations. This reduction in rotational inertia allows for quicker acceleration, decreased braking distances, and more responsive handling.

The belly pans provided for modern Volkswagens have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts.

ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, air-ventilated, 3/16” thick 5052 aluminum, with black zinc-coated steel hardware, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

ECS Exact-Fit stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and dependable stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure. Even when new, factory style fabric mesh lined rubber hoses are prone to expansion under the pressure of hard braking, whether it be highway panic stops or threshold braking at the track. Our lines are braided with stainless steel mesh, affording expansion resistance. This resistance to expansion creates a firmer pedal, and more direct pedal feel.

A failed air injection pump is more than a noisy annoyance. Bad pumps store a fault code and turn on your check engine light, a sure way to fail your local emissions test. Dying pumps don't go quietly. As they fail, they make a loud buzzing noise, audible shortly after a cold engine start up; continuing for a minute or so after that. Our secondary air pump can put your air injection system back to normal, eliminate all that racket, and turn off that pesky dash light.
