Hood: Service Precautions

Contact Corrosion!

On Touareg, hood is made out of aluminum. Carefully check this attachment for contact corrosion during disassembly/assembly work.

Contact corrosion can occur if inappropriate connecting elements (bolts, nuts, washers) are used.

For this reason, only connecting elements with a special surface coating are installed (Dacromet). These elements are distinguished by their greenish hue.

Furthermore, all rubber, plastic and adhesive materials used are non-conductive.

If you have doubts about the reusability of parts, it is generally better to install new parts.

CAUTION:
- Only use original manufacturers parts!
- Additional equipment must be authorized by VW AG!
- Damage via contact corrosion is not covered by warranty!
