No need for guesswork or complicated ordering of individual bulbs.

It was just a matter of time. Now it's here. APR introduces the next logical step in mojo management with an app that wirelessly connects your iPhone or iPad to your car's ECU. Load the app, plug the Bluetooth dongle into the car's data link, and enjoy. Switch between different software maps with a simple screen tap, or select, swipe, and scroll to data lists and graphs where you can monitor performance and log data. Have a check engine light? APR's app checks, clears, and provides probable causes for those, too. Just what you'd expect from the tech-savvy folks at APR.

The concept of "lifetime" transmission fluid is illogical. Silly even. Fluid additives dissipate over time and filters clog. Transmissison clutches slough off harmful friction material and metallic debris. Do the logical thing: set up a regular maintenance schedule that includes a periodic transmission service. That way, your transmission will go on shifting smoothly long after the warranty is gone. We've just dropped the prices on pre-packaged transmission service kits for four and five-speed automatics so you can spend a little now and head off a huge repair bill later.

Worried about that really bad storm? The mother of all blizzards where your all seasons tires don't get it done, and there are more cars in the ditch than on the road? Rest easy.

Available in different grades depending on frequency of use, in sizes for most vehicles. Keep a set in your trunk so you can stop worrying and get a grip when winter gets ugly.

The problem is widespread and chronic: cam followers for the high pressure fuel pump in FSI engines are prone to wear. Savvy FSI owners periodically pull the pump and check the follower to avoid costly fuel pump and camshaft damage. Symptoms of advanced cam follower-itis include loss of power, rough running, and an illuminated check engine light. To help you understand and mitigate the problem, we've put together a photo tutorial that demonstrates how to inspect and replace your cam follower. Use it with our handy repair kit to keep your FSI running strong.

When "me too" isn't for you, a set of Alzor wheels will do. Transform your MKV into a one-off with the bold look of the all new Alzor 050. Five muscular spokes radiate power from a dished center, creating wide display windows for your new painted calipers, Exact-Fit brake lines, and GEOMET rotors. Their 18 inch diameter fills wheel wells, making a lowered chassis look even lower, and the easy-clean Hyper-Silver finish complements any car color. Like all Alzors, the 050 is TPMS compatible, and comes standard with TÜV Rheinlan, JWL and VIA approval for peace of mind.

When the stock snub mount fails, the entire drivetrain can experience excessive movement, both torsionally and laterally. This movement ultimately results in a less refined and immediate feeling when you put the pedal to the metal. ECS Tuning has designed its own polyurethane snub mount. A direct-fit mount with higher durometer and more robust construction. You'll immediately feel an improvement in throttle response, shift feel, and a more solid drivetrain. If your B5 is wearing many miles or has power-adding mods, the ECS poly snub mount is your next logical upgrade.

VR6 owners love their engines for their eye-opening torque. What they don't love is that silly plastic water pipe installed at the factory. You know the one. Notorious for leaking coolant, it is widely referred to by its street name: the "crack" pipe. We have a solution. A permanent solution. The all new ECS Tuning water pipe is machined from billet aluminum, then anodized with a silver or black finish for durability and corrosion resistance. Complete with drain plug and o-rings, it is the last water pipe you'll need for your VR6.

Then cruise the next meet with confidence--and cash in your pockets. Like all Alzors, the 640 is TPMS compatible, and comes standard with TÜV Rheinlan, JWL and VIA approval for your peace of mind.

Blow the doors off the other guys with your choice of a traditional diverter valve or a splitter that combines diverter and blow-off noise functions in a single housing.

Rare cars are commonly owned and pampered by motorists who appreciate the rarity and value of their purchase. If you own a 337, 20AE, or GLI, you don't skimp when it comes to repairs.

Our complete Valeo kit contains a single mass flywheel, concentric release bearing, diaphragm-style pressure plate, and clutch disc with large torsion springs to damp vibration.

Now you can tighten nuts and bolts like a pro with a Schwaben torque wrench. Our 1/2-inch drive is great for general purpose repairs; the 3/8-drive wrench has a 5-80 ft-lb range for smaller jobs.These chrome plated wrenches have a reversible ratcheting head with locking adjustment barrel, and come in a sturdy blow-molded case to keep them clean and safe between jobs.

Schwaben.
