I think that the one you were looking at is the one for the v-10. No idea why it would be so much more.

I would call them and ask them what the difference is. I always want all the info I can get so I only spend my money once.

My best guess is the "Valeo Made" is the equilivent of an original ( Valeo is a supplier for the auto industry- like Moog parts vs others) and the cheeper one is probably forgien (Chinese) made.

I just ordered a Rad from Rockauto, (made in taiwan brand was GDI/Transpro)) it was around 285 or so, came in damaged. Called them up and they straightened things out, Fed Ex came and picked it up, credited my acct etc. I re-ordered another one, but this was a different brand as the one they had originally sent was now out of stock. This one (brand is Spectra) was cheaper by about 30.00. It shows up, in a box marked made in taiwan, and what was inside?...A Valeo! and the quality was visibly nicer than the one that was damaged...go figure.
