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.

Furthermore, all rubber or plastic and adhesive are made of non-conductive materials.

If there are doubts as to whether parts can be reused or not, use new parts. Refer to Parts Catalog.

The use of original replacement parts is recommended, they are tested and are compatible with aluminum.

The use of Audi accessories is recommended.

Warranty does not cover contact corrosion damage.
