Original and Imitation

Counterfeit warning

Gaskets ensure optimum engine functioning and performance. Play it safe and always use original spare parts from Elring for your vehicle service!

Counterfeit parts can result in serious damage to the engine, and there is a significant safety risk in installing fake and replica products. To protect them from cheap imitations, Elring products are always marked with an Elring hologram.

To meet the latest security requirements, the existing hologram has been upgraded into a nanogram. The distinctive differences between old and new versions are shown clearly below.

New Elring Nanogram:

In future you will find this on all full gasket sets (S), cylinder-head gasket sets (ES), crank case sets (CS) and cylinder-head gaskets (ZKD).
