Meyle is a play on Mahle I've always thought.  Generally junk parts in my observation.

Agreed. Meyle parts are Chinese junk without exception. And "Meyle Germany" on the box.

The Meyle=China is within the last couple years. They're just a rebrander, such as Beck Arnley. 

I remember when Meyle's parts were of decent European manufacture. I just looked at a new Meyle tie rod that I've had on the shelf for years. I think it was made in Turkey.

It's getting tough to find any parts that are truly made in Germany, anymore. Even OE VW parts are coming from all over the world.

Meyle being sold to China is the best thing to happen to my business :

as there hoses are shorter
no longer one piece molded, now there three crap rubber  pieces of hose with a plastic joiner.

all the coolant neck flanges are plastic junk..

Iam thinking of mfg cnc mk1/ mkii coolant alloy flanges

Their bonded rubber parts are good (bushings). Aside from that, pure $hit.

If you think their metal parts are bad, try their electrical parts. 6 weeks on an ignition switch.
