Contact Corrosion






Contact Corrosion

Contact corrosion can occur if non-approved fasteners are used on vehicle (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.).

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 you are not sure about the suitability of parts, install new parts.

We only recommend original replacement parts. They have been checked and are compatible with aluminum.

It is recommended to use Audi accessories.

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