colr6 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 Just received some competition big end and main shells for my YB, ordered them as they are what I believed to made by Mahle of which I normally associate with good quality products. The box clearly states Mahle 'original' then reading another part of the box, made in Slovakia- quality guaranteed by Mahle. Thought Mahle was German ? Do Mahle produce in Slovakia or is it there cheaper to produce by Slovacs then put in their boxes?
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted March 27, 2017 Moderator Report Posted March 27, 2017 I was of the belief anywhere in Europe was technically Germany now? I thought you were about to say they were Chinese for a moment so its not as bad as it could be.
PeterMEscort Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 The Germans are smart. You bought a product made Slovakia. But probably paid a German price. Similar here in Australia. We are forced to buy Chinese products (because there is no alternative). But pay an Australian price.
