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.
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 genuine Audi accessories.
- Warranty does not cover contact corrosion damage.
LINES AND WIRES, 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR WORKING ON VEHICLES WITH A START/STOP SYSTEM
When working on vehicles with a start/stop system, note the following
| WARNING | There is a risk of getting injured by an automatic engine start for vehicles with the start/stop system. For vehicles with an activated start/stop system (recognized by a signal in the instrument cluster), the engine can be started automatically if need be. Therefore make sure that the start/stop system is deactivated when working on the vehicle (turn off the ignition, turn on the ignition when necessary). |
