Elring – Only Originals with the Original Hologram

As a protection against cheap imitations, Elring brand products always bear the Elring hologram. In the meantime, however, counterfeiters are forging not only the gaskets and their packaging, but even the hologram.

Please look out for certain telltale differences. This way you can be sure that you are holding an original Elring spare part in original equipment quality.

 How can you tell them apart?
