Contact corrosion
Contact corrosion
Contact corrosion can occur if use is made of unsuitable connecting elements, bolts, nuts, packing plates, rivets, plugs, grommets, adhesives, etc.
For this reason, all the connecting elements fitted have been subjected to special surface treatment by the manufacturer. This can be seen for example from the greenish colour of such elements. Use is also made of rubber and plastic parts as well as adhesives which are not electrically conductive → Electronic parts catalogue.
These tested, aluminium-compatible components are available as replacement parts → Electronic parts catalogue.
Always use genuine parts!
Always fit new parts in cases of doubt about reusability.
Accessories must have been approved by Audi AG.
Damage caused by contact corrosion is not covered by warranty.
