The relays in the front and rear SAM comes from China. I have also seen parts from Hungary and Poland as well.

Yes, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Turkey etc. Many of their Behr radiators & other components come from South Africa.

I hope they don't suffer the Delphi injector meltdown problem they had with the W204 diesels.

Even Porsche uses Aisin transmissions
