Because Details Matter
A simple oil change is often where you discover the condition of your VW’s hardware. Rusted or rounded acorn nuts don’t just look bad—they can compromise the seal and make service frustrating. Upgrading to stainless steel gives you confidence every time you reach for a wrench. It’s a small touch that protects your engine and preserves the factory look, because details matter.
