Don't give counterfeit products a chance: Easily identify quality parts!

Can you recognize the part quality?!

Spare parts for cars and commercial vehicles are often copied and counterfeited. Counterfeit parts represent a high risk for independent workshops, as counterfeit parts are usually of inferior quality and do not meet the necessary quality and safety requirements of the original brand parts. Counterfeits can cause consequential damage to the vehicle and even lead to accidents. This is why independent workshops should protect themselves as best they can against counterfeit branded goods. But can you recognize counterfeit, usually inferior spare parts for motor vehicles and commercial vehicles?

Original spark plugs

High-quality spark plugs are responsible for the reliable ignition of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of petrol engines. The quality of this ignition influences several factors that are very important for driving behavior and the environment: Smooth running, performance and efficiency of the engine as well as climate-damaging emissions.

The use of counterfeit branded spark plugs can lead to a loss of vehicle performance, sooting and - for example, due to melted center electrodes - even engine damage.

Original engine cooling systems

Coolers play an essential role in the smooth operation of combustion engines. The circulating coolant absorbs the combustion heat of up to 1,500 °C. Only with high-quality, durable engine cooling systems from brand manufacturers can the safe functioning of the engine be permanently guaranteed under all operating and weather conditions.Inferior counterfeit products can cause mechanical damage, natural wear or corrosion, overheating, excess pressure and deposits in the cooling system, which can lead to overheating of the engine and its total failure.

Original air conditioning compressors

Air conditioning compressors are the central element of the air conditioning system in vehicles. The compressors, which are driven by the engine, ensure the compression of the refrigerant in the air conditioning system's cooling circuit. High-quality air conditioning compressors from brand manufacturers are perfectly matched to different vehicle types and engines. Extensive testing ensures reliable performance.

Inferior imitations of branded air conditioning compressors can have a negative effect on the entire air conditioning system, leading to overheating or even complete system failure. Incorrectly activated control valves can lead to inadequate cooling medium delivery and inadequate lubrication can cause the compressor to seize up.

Original oil filter

To ensure that vehicle engines remain efficient for a long time, they require high-quality filtration systems. Inferior, brazen copies, sometimes without function, drastically increase the risk of premature wear. The consequences of poor oil filters, for example, include premature corrosion of the drive components involved or abrasion, inadequate lubrication and the risk of engine damage.
