Many of those "exotic" countries where large amounts of NOS parts were found might've even been supplied with Brazilian stuff, since the local branch of VW used to have a very successful exports program by then. Brazilian-made EA827 engines had been used even in Germany. Surprisingly, in some regions of Brazil people are already now complaining about a diminishing availability of decent-quality replacement parts for older VWs.
