A few weeks ago I needed a van part while away from home. By chance I
stopped at a VW Dealership I came to and bought the part. It came in a
Genuine VW Parts box, purchased from the VW dealer parts counter.

I was a little surprised that along with all the other VW/Audi markings
the part was stamped "Made in China".
