The S54 coolant vent line can be a weak point as these cars age. The plastic design can become brittle due extreme temperature cycling in the engine bay. When you upgrade to the ECS kit, you get a custom billet fitting and a flexible yet pre-formed silicone hose designed to outlast OEM components in this environment. There's no reason to let your stock line leave you on the side of the road, upgrade now before the factory line gives out.
This kit can be installed by even an entry-level mechanic, taking little or no time to complete the upgrade. The best part about this upgrade is there's no need to drain cooling system.
