A thought. I DO NOT know where these units are made, but Ukraine did quite a bit of component work for the German auto parts/components industry. The war in Ukraine has put a damper on their industry. They have transitioned to a war time industry. What it means for us is these manufacturers fill the gaps in the OEM parts chain.
The 0 28 0140 501 ICV is harder to find than 028 150 158 injectors, so it’s actually getting a bit harder to keep these engines going an OEM configuration, for smog reasons. And if these units are made in China, that’s a whole ‘nuther basket of uh-oh. If they are made in India buy 2-3 because their QC is not quite up to snuff.
