that's the problem...most of febi stuff is very good and o.e, BUT I have started to see lots of ebi stuff with made in china written on it and you can tell the difference in quality (even if febi don't agree!)


then again bosch have done the same for years, when I worked at a main bosch agent you could put a germen bosch plug and a brasil bosch plug together and they were like black and white with the difference

TRW also supply VW. Dealers wanted nearly £180 for track rods and ends, Euro's sell the exact same part for £55 a side. Only difference was VW put a part number sticker on the box.
