Apologies for the above slur. I used a three letter word to describe a type of engine, I know for sure that 'eu arrrh oh' is used to describe vw, mercedes etc, and im pretty sure I've heard members on here (most of whom live in, and are native to, North America) refer to Pontiac, Dodge, Olds, Chevy etc etc as 'yank' motors and I dont remember anybody feeling that it was racist or inappropriate in the way that (I assume) my use of J word was looked down upon enough to be censored, but its ok to say yank & euro...maybe if we use a.soft j and call.them yap motors it would indicate that we are asking server or not denso is oem, like we might ask.if mann is oem for euro motors...
Sorry to go on about it but I had to explain myself, draw a parallel. And then give an example to illustrattle a point, hopefully drawing some into discourse.
