Contact corrosion!
Contact corrosion!
General information:
t  Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable fasteners are used on the vehicle (bolts, nuts, washers etc.).
t  For this reason, only fasteners with a special surface coating are fitted.
t  Rubber or plastic parts and adhesives also consist of non-conductive materials.
t  If you are not sure whether used parts can be re-installed, always fit new parts → Electronic parts catalogue.
Please note:
t  Use only genuine spare parts: these have been fully tested and are compatible with magnesium.
t  We recommend the use of accessories approved by Audi.
t  Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by the warranty.
