Dear Sirs,

With respect to the contemplated filing of a registration statement by Walbro
Corporation and the inclusion in this filing of the audited financial
statements under French GAAP of Marwal Systems for fiscal years ended December
31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, we confirm that our audits of these Marwal Systems
financial statements were conducted substantially in accordance with US
generally accepted auditing standards.

Yours faithfully,


   ERNST & YOUNG Audit

                          (MARWAL SYSTEMS, S.A. UNTIL
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1995)

                       STATUTORY AUDITOR'S GENERAL REPORT

                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995


In our capacity as statutory auditor, we present below our report on:

* the accompanying annual accounts of Marwal Systems,

* the specific procedures and disclosures prescribed by law,

for the year ended December 31, 1995.

These annual accounts are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual accounts based on our 
audit.

I. OPINION ON THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

We conducted our audit in accordance with French auditing standards. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the annual accounts are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the annual accounts. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall annual account presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the annual accounts present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company at December 31, 1995 and the results of
its operations for the year then ended.

II. SPECIFIC PROCEDURES AND DISCLOSURES PRESCRIBED BY LAW

We have also carried out, in accordance with professional standards, the
specific procedures prescribed by law.

We have nothing to report with respect to the fairness of information contained
in the Directors' Report and its consistency with the annual accounts and other
information presented to shareholders concerning the financial position and
annual accounts.

EVENTS DURING THE YEAR

The Marwal branch based in Italy was closed on December 31, 1995.

An extraordinary shareholders' meeting held on September 29, 1995 decided the
transformation of the Company into a "Societe en Nom Collectif", a partnership,
with effect from October 1 , 1995.

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounts of the Company have been prepared based upon generally accepted
accounting principles in France which conform with the Chart of Accounts as set
out in the French law dated April 30, 1983 and the decree of November 29, 1983.

1.1 Intangible fixed assets

The intangible fixed assets consist mainly of goodwill which is amortised on a
straight line basis over 5 years.

The amortisation methods and the useful lives for other categories are as
follows:

- - Set-up costs                  3 years straight line
- - Computer software             1-3 years straight line

1.2 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are valued at historical purchase price or cost of
production when they have been produced in house. The cost of production is
made up of the following elements: purchase price of raw materials, consumables
and direct production costs.

Assets are depreciated on a straight line basis or declining balance, when
applicable, for items purchased during or after 1992.

The depreciation methods and the useful lives applied are as follows;

<TABLE>
<S>                                    <C>
Installations                          10 years straight line
Machinery                              5-6 2/3 straight line / declining balance
Toolings                               1-5 years straight line / declining balance
Leasehold improvements - Mac./Toolings  5-6 2/3 straight line / declining balance
Vehicles                               4-5 years straight line
Fixtures and fittings                  10 years straight line
Computer hardware                      4-5 years straight line / declining balance

                       (in thousands of French Francs)

1.3 Financial investments

- - The investments in associates are valued at their acquisition cost in the
  assets of the Company.
- - A reserve is recorded when their fair value is less than their book value.

1.4 Inventory and work-in-progress
The policies used are as follows:

* Inventory is valued at the total cost of production.

* Raw materials and consumables are valued at the average weighted cost for
  goods received in the last month. This method is similar to FIFO.

* The Cost of production includes direct and indirect production expenses and
  an allocation of the costs of running the Head Office, to the extent that 
  they are related to the production.

* The provision for obsolescence is determined based upon the sales.

1.5 Allowance for doubtful accounts

The receivables are valued at their face value, a provision is recorded when
the value recoverable is less than the book value.

1.6 Foreign exchange transactions

The receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency are translated
into French Francs at the December 31st exchange rate. The resulting differences
with amounts translated at historical exchange rates are shown in the balance
sheet as "foreign exchange translation differences".

A provision for exchange losses is recorded separately for unrealised losses.

1.7 Retirement indemnity liabilities

The "Projected Benefit Obligation" has been applied to calculate the
retirement obligation.

The total obligation is covered by:

- - a fund run by La Mondiale, with a value of KFRF.8,343,
- - a provision of KFRF.357 included in the Marwal accounts at December 31, 1995.

                       STATUTORY AUDITOR'S GENERAL REPORT

                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994




In our capacity as statutory auditor, we present below our report on:

- -  the accompanying annual accounts of Marwal Systems, S.A.;
- -  the specific procedures and disclosures prescribed by law,

for the year ended December 31, 1994.

I. OPINION ON THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS                               

We have audited the annual accounts in accordance with professional standards
and, accordingly, performed such auditing procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances.
        
In our opinion, the annual accounts present fairly, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in France, the financial position of the Company
at December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations for the year then
ended. 


II. SPECIFIC PROCEDURES AND DISCLOSURES PRESCRIBED BY LAW


We have also carried out, in accordance with professional standards, the
specific procedures prescribed by law.


We have nothing to report with respect to the fairness of information contained
in the Directors' Report and its consistency with the annual accounts and other
information presented to shareholders concerning the financial position and
annual accounts.

                      Notes to the Financial Statements
                       (in thousands of French Francs)

The accounts of the branch based in Italy have been translated using the year
end rate of exchange. The entire business will be transferred to France with
effect starting in 1995 which will result in the closure of Marwal Italy during
the year.

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounts of the Company have been prepared based upon generally accepted
accounting principles in France which conform with the Chart of Accounts as set
out in the French law dated April 30, 1983 and the decree of November 29, 1983.

1.1 INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

The intangible fixed assets consist mainly of goodwill which is amortised on a
straight line basis over 5 years.

The amortisation methods and the useful lives for other categories are as
follows:

- - Set-up costs                         3 years straight line
- - Computer software                    1-3 years straight line

1.2 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Tangible fixed assets are valued at historical purchase price or cost of
production when they have been produced in house. The cost of production is
made up of the following elements: purchase price of raw materials, consumables
and direct production costs.

Assets are depreciated on a straight line basis or declining balance, when
applicable for items purchased during or after 1992.

1.4 INVENTORY AND WORK-IN-PROGRESS

The policies used are as follows:

- - Inventory is valued at the total cost of production.

- - Raw materials and consumables are valued at the average weighted cost for
  goods received in the last month. This method is similar to FIFO.

- - The Cost of production includes direct and indirect production expenses and 
  an allocation of the costs of running the Head Office, to the extent that
  they are related to the production.

- - The provision for obsolescence is determined based upon the sales forecasts.

1.5 ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The receivables are valued at their face value, a provision is recorded when
the value recoverable is less than the book value.

1.6 FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS

The receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency are translated
into French francs at the December 31st, exchange rate. The resulting
differences with amounts translated at historical exchange rates are shown in
the balance sheet as "foreign exchange translation differences."

A provision for exchange losses is recorded separately for unrealised losses.

1.7 RETIREMENT INDEMNITY LIABILITIES

obligation.

                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993


In our capacity as statutory auditor, we present below our report on:

* the accompanying annual accounts of Marwal Systems, S.A.

* the specific procedures and disclosures prescribed by law,

I. OPINION ON THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

We have audited the annual accounts in accordance with professional standards
and, accordingly, performed such auditing procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances.

In our opinion, the annual accounts present fairly, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in France, the financial position of
the Company at December 31, 1993, and the results of its operations for the
year then ended.

specific procedures prescribed by law.

We have nothing to report with respect to the fairness of information contained

information presented to shareholders concerning the financial position and
annual accounts.

The Company Marwal Systems, S.A. created a branch on January 1st, 1993. This
branch, based in Italy, sells gauges. Since it is run autonomously, the closing
exchange rate was used to translate the accounts at 12/31/93.

NOTE 1:  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounts of the Company have been prepared based upon generally accepted
accounting principles in France in compliance with the French law dated April
30, 1983 and the decree of November 29, 1983.

1.1 Intangible fixed assets

The intangible fixed assets consist mainly of goodwill which is amortised on a
straight line basis over a 5 year period.

The amortisation methods and the useful lives for other categories are as
follows:

- - Set-up costs                           3 years straight line
- - Computer software                      1-3 years straight line


1.2 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are valued at historical purchase price or cost of
production when they have been produced in house. The cost of production is
made up of the following elements: purchase price of raw materials, consumables
and direct production costs.

Assets are depreciated on a straight line basis or declining balance, when
applicable, for items purchased during or after 1992.

</TABLE>


1.3 Financial Investments

N/A.

1.4 Inventory and work-in-progress

The policies used are as follows:

* Inventory is valued at the total cost of production.

* Raw materials and consumables are valued at weighted average cost for goods
  received in the last three months. This method is considered as similar to
  FIFO. 

* The Cost of production includes direct and indirect production expenses and an
  allocation of the costs of running the Head Office, to the extent that they
  are related to the production.

* The provision for obsolescence is determined based upon the sales forecasts. 

1.5 Allowance for doubtful accounts

The receivables are valued at their face value, a provision is recorded when the
value recoverable is less than the book value.

1.6 Foreign exchange operations

Debtors and creditors denominated in foreign currency are translated into French
Francs at the 31st December exchange rate. The resulting differences with
amounts translated at historical exchange rate are shown in the balance sheet as
"foreign exchange translation differences" either as an asset or liability.
Unrealised currency losses are provided for separately as contingencies.
