I also ran a "echo check>  /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action" because this
had helped to remove those errors at another server, unfortunately it
did not help here.
     
It should be repair, not check - check merely reads stuff, repair tries
to fix it.

   
No it shouldn't, AFAIK - check will read from all sectors on all drives, 
and will trigger a rewrite on unreadable blocks (which is what the  OP has).
