Another good example: The "Original" VW Vanagon Oil filter that VWoA sell through their dealerships. Is it made in Germany? Nooooo. Is it US? Yeesssss. Is it crap? Yeessss. Which could also mean that the country is not always to blame for the quality of the parts. Btw, I am not saying that the German filter is perfect either. PerL 87 Syncro 112i |
