Ok I didnt know that. But VAG also builds lots of their own transmissions afaik in multiple factories in spain, germany, china... (something that bmw completely doesnt).

But of course volkswagen has been using zf clutches since prehistoric times so although the gearbox may come from another manufacturer, there isnt a volkswagen anywhere that is free from ZF parts
