Counterfeit and imitation products
Important information
Warning about Lambda sensors
Be wary of using universal sensors which do not meet the standards
of vehicle manufacturers. There is a risk of premature damage and
thus failure of the Lambda sensor. In the interests of your custo-
mers please therefore make exclusive use of genuine Lambda sen-
sors or universal Lambda sensors from Bosch.
Warning about electric fuel pumps
Certain rival companies make use of inferior imitation products in-
stead of high-performance Bosch pumps. This can lead to problems
when driving and to a loss of engine power due to an inadequate
fuel supply. In the interests of your customers please therefore
make exclusive use of genuine fuel pumps from Bosch.
Warning about the use of non-Bosch air-mass meters
Only genuine air-mass meters from Bosch can ensure compliance
with the legally prescribed emission values. The vehicle homologa-
tion will be invalidated if use is made of air-mass meters from other
manufacturers. In addition, this can result in a considerable loss of
engine power and thus higher fuel consumption.
Warning about ignition coils
Bosch ignition coils always provide the engine with sufficient energy
for the ignition spark. This prevents cold-starting difficulties and
exhaust-emission test problems. The high-grade plastic or asphalt
insulation materials used by Bosch ensure a high breakdown voltage
and guard against the risk of fire, in contrast to the oil-based pro-
ducts of certain low-cost suppliers. High-precision, corrosion-proof
connections form the basis for a long product service life.
