Manual Transmission/Transaxle: Service Precautions

Contact Corrosion

Contact corrosion can occur if non-approved fasteners are used such as 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. Refer to the electronic parts catalog ETKA.

• The transmission housing consists of a magnesium alloy.

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

• It is recommended to use Audi accessories.

Warranty does not cover contact corrosion damage.
