Yes, but tell the whole story, they are only for the chinesse domestic. market. Generally have different feature to the European versions.

Ever seen an audi A4L or an A6Lthe L stands for Long wheel base. One of the more popular chinesse model options. Only availabe in China.

Some dorks believe you can drive in NewZealand without benefit of registration or WOF and your insurance will still cover you, FFS are you insane!

really!

trdbzr, Oct 22, 12:58am
Is that it! an Audi a4 or a6 is completely different to one that is a short wheel base!

You do realize the point I was trying to make was that a number of euro brands also get their cars manufactured in china.

Theres a nearby thread claiming this yes

taurus61, Oct 22, 1:23am
OK. What ones, can you name a few that are imported new into New Zealand ( links to the info would be good to)
I am unaware of any VAG product manufactured in China being imported new into New Zealand.

Advice I have from a bloke workingon a petrol station forecourt.every time I close my petrol flap I am supposed to push the button on my keys to make sure it shuts properly. And, according to him, it broke at the petrol station because this was not done. It broke at the petrol station because the person closing it slammed it. And not just once but twice.

This is why you shouldnt let strangers touch ya flaps.

There were a few santana's bought in the 80's that were assembled in china, they still make the mk2 jetta over there

paulap, Oct 22, 1:47am
Lesson learnt.lol

trogedon, Oct 22, 2:01am
Tell that to your wife!

gunhand, Oct 22, 2:04am
I'd be pretty annoyed if the wife came home and said some servo worker had been having a go at her flap I can tell ya.No need to slam them at all.

taurus61, Oct 22, 2:04am
The Mk2 jetta is imported new into New Zealand !

paulap, Oct 22, 2:06am
At least I got the flap wrecking stranger to pay for it to be repaired
