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, 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.
