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

1. We only recommend original replacement parts, they have been tested and are compatible with aluminum.
2. We recommend using Audi accessories.
3. Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by warranty.

DATA BUS ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACE -J533

General Information

1. Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface interlinks the different CAN bus systems in the vehicle.
2. It transmits data from, for example, the engine control module (drivetrain CAN bus) to the instrument cluster (instrument cluster CAN bus).
3. Fault finding is done in "Guided Fault Finding" using the Vehicle diagnostic tester.
