VW Cranks Out Made-in-China DSGs | The Truth About Cars

Made in china isnt really a problem. I think engineered in china is where the trouble starts!

I agree with Tim, whereby the engineering will determine the final reliability. Modern production methodologies and performance monitoring systems are far superior to when the Made in China rubber dogpoo factories began. And just like when BWM jv'ed into China, their 3 and 5 series models are still running around just as reliably as the earlier European made units.

Ouch, German engineering is great its their design which is overcomplicated. Pretty soon the Chinese will copy this design and make it their own without reference to VW, just like they copy everthing else

Yes. No copyright or patent laws in china..

As long as they make profit now, that's what they care about the most.

VW have had 2 factories in china for years, who knows where the components for VW's have been coming from

All MK4 R32s are made in slovakia. and they are still very reliable. So, as someone said above, these countries are just putting cars together, not engieneering them
