Contact corrosion
Contact corrosion
t  The housing of the multitronic 01J CVT automatic gearbox is made of a magnesium alloy.
t  Bolts and other components which have direct contact with the gearbox have a surface coating which is compatible with the magnesium gearbox housing.
t  On magnesium gearboxes, the bolts on the following bolted connections must always be replaced: Gearbox cover to gearbox housing and final drive cover to gearbox housing.
t  If the incorrect components are used (bolts, nuts, washers etc.), this will cause contact corrosion. The gearbox housing will be damaged.
t  The gearbox housing, gearbox cover and cover for final drive must also all be of the same material.
t  Always install new parts if you are not sure whether used parts can be refitted.
  Caution
t  Only use genuine Seat parts!
t  Damage from contact corrosion is not covered under the warranty.
