Ensuring better engine performance and smooth driving

A human body gets burned out from the stress brought by everyday work. The same is true with all automobiles, such as Audi. Consistent fuel burning inside an Audi's engine may cause deteriorating performance, and worse, a complete bust. One of the solutions for this problem is the Audi Cold Air Intake. By controlling the engine temperature through injecting of oxygen and air, Audi cold air intakes maximize combustion. The results are more efficient fuel consumption, greater horsepower, and prolonged engine life.

The Audi Cold Air Intake system was designed to replace the fairly inferior air box and stock air paper filter, both of which reduce significant power. Smooth airflow is made possible through a set of metal or plastic tubes with increased diameters and smooth interiors. An Audi Cold Air Intake can be constructed out of plastic, metal, rubber, or silicon. Others are made of composite materials, such as fiberglass, carbon fiber or kevlar combined. The type of material does not have a bearing though, as there is a minimal contact between the material and air during tubing.

While the Audi Cold Air Intake boosts a vehicle's power and prolongs the engine life, the Audi Clutch Disc ensures smooth and comfortable driving. A typical Audi Clutch Disc is made up of metal and directs the flow of power between the engine and the transmission along with the pressure plate and the flywheel. Regular Audi clutch discs are lined with asbestos, the same material that is used in brake shoes and pads to attain friction. This unique positioning and material enhances the grip between the flywheel and the disc. The Audi Clutch Disc is fitted between the flywheel and clutch cover. The friction plate transmits engine power seamlessly, and the damper mechanism cancels out noise and vibration. Engine torque is then transferred to the input shaft of the transmission by means of frictional contact. Power flows from the flywheel and the contact plate through the clutch facings, the cushion spring, and the disc adaptor into the torsion damper. Using the hub's gear teeth, the power is moved to the transmission shaft.

Both the Audi cold air intake and clutch disc have proven to be reliable components built and design with impeccable design by Audi to give vehicles reprieve from its stressful functions.
