Contact corrosion
Contact corrosion
Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers ...) are used.
For this reason, all the fasteners on the vehicle have a special surface coating.
In addition, rubber parts, plastic parts and adhesives are made of non-conductive material.
Always install new parts if you are not sure whether used parts can be refitted.
Note:
Always use genuine parts. These have been tested and are compatible with aluminium.
Accessories must be approved by AUDI AG.
Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered under the warranty.
