I just bought a Mann air filter for my '93 945 and it's made in Mexico. I also got a Volvo branded spark plug kit, P/N 270746. that's made in Mexico as well. First of all, I never heard of RWD spark plug kit, I always used Bosch plugs, but it was pretty cheap at FCP and figured a Volvo branded plug should be a good thing. Time will tell. Anyway, Mann and Volvo items made in Mexico. How about that? Am I out of touch? Has this been going on for a while? I bought some rear brake rotors for the 945 recently and they were made in China! Are these still good parts?
