Contact Corrosion






Contact Corrosion

Contact corrosion can occur if incorrect fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used.

For this reason, only connecting elements with a special surface coating are installed.

In addition, rubber or plastic parts and adhesive are made of materials that do not conduct electricity.

If there are doubts about the suitability of parts, generally use new parts.

Only original replacement parts are recommended, they are checked and compatible with aluminum.

It is recommended to use Audi accessories.

Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by the warranty.
