VW parts still come from Brazil - ask your local parts store to look up any air cooled VW or brake parts & see for yourself.

I recall the years of getting VW parts from Brazil. Definitely not the same standards.

VWAG undoubtedly know perfectly well that China can and do make mechanical/electronic stuff as good as any in the world, along with stuff as bad as any in the world and everywhere in between. Hear anyone complain about the horrible build quality of an iPhone lately?
