Also, for the person asking about the 2.4 in a 2003, European countries consider the year it was registered as the "year of the car". So you could essentially have a 2008 but if it wasn't registered until 2011, then the car is considered a 2011. Very weird thing that they do but I assume that you look for parts with the "build date" in Europe.

I was saying that to get him to give information like that and he already did a vin check to find out that it is an 01' ya skimmer
You did give good info though and I did not know that about the year thing in Europe and that sounds dumb
