Contact Corrosion






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.

Also, rubber or plastic parts and adhesive consist of non-conductive materials.

If you are not sure about the suitability of parts, install new parts. Refer to the Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA).

We recommend original parts only. They are tested and compatible with aluminum.

It is recommended to use Audi accessories.

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