The colour-marked links which were factory-fitted and provided as replacement parts have been discontinued gradually as of week 45/2013. In addition, the links are not pre-installed anymore on the control motors which are provided as replacement parts.
There are various versions of control motors and links available. In some cases there are very slight differences which may not be obvious at first glance. However, if the wrong version of a control motor or link is installed, problems may occur not before the basic setting is performed.
