CONTACT CORROSION
Contact corrosion can occur if incorrect fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used.
For this reason, only fasteners with a special surface coating are used.
In addition, rubber or plastic parts and adhesive consist of non-conductive materials.
If there are doubts as to whether parts are suitable or not, use new parts.
Note
- We only recommend original replacement parts, they have been tested and are compatible with aluminum.
- We recommend using Audi accessories.
- Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by warranty.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Observe the notes on contact corrosion. Refer to CONTACT CORROSION .
Note. All warning lamps in the instrument cluster are fitted with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). In case an indicator lamp is malfunctioning, the instrument cluster must be replaced.
