ADHESIVE TAPE SURFACES
- The vehicle must be at room temperature before the installation of self-adhesive cover, door seal molding, etc. when using adhesive tape.
- The adhesive surfaces on the body must be free of dirt and grease.
- Clean the adhesive surfaces using cleaning solution D 009 401 04.
- Warm the adhesive areas to approximately 40 °C (104 °F) using a hot air gun.
- After installing the covers with adhesive tape, use a roller and press the adhesive tape one more time to make sure it is on securely.
- After that, pull on the adhesive tape by hand just to make sure it is on.
CONTACT CORROSION
Contact corrosion can occur if incorrect connecting elements (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.
Note. It is recommended to use only original replacement parts as they have been tested and are compatible with aluminum. It is recommended to use Audi accessories. Warranty does not cover contact corrosion damage.
LINES, ROUTING AND SECURING
When removing and installing hydraulic and pneumatic lines or electrical wires, make a sketch or take a photo to remember the original installation locations.
