Beware of Chinese repro idle actuators 0001411225 for 380 SL/C USA

Yesterday I tested new Chinese idle actuators 000 141 12 25 repros on Andreas's car. I knew already they would not close. And as expected they delivered wrong and non constant rpm. When I looked at them closer I saw that Chinese manufacturers considered themselves clever in making production cheaper. But It means that not even I can adjust them any more. Christian tested the second one I had bouhgt. And it also failed. So I bought 2 pieces of scrap.

I am sure we will soon see these repros with fake labels claiming them to be orirignal NOS ones. Therefore here my hint how to identify these repros. If you glance into them from top. You will not see a brass cross and a cap covering axle. They also do not close completely.
