Contact Corrosion





Contact Corrosion

Contact corrosion may occur if unsuitable connecting elements (bolts, nuts, washers and so on) are used.

For this reason, only connecting elements with a special surface coating are installed (Dacromet). These elements are distinguished by their greenish hue.

Furthermore, all rubber, plastic and adhesive materials used are non-conductive.

If there is any doubt about the reusability of parts, always install new replacement parts.

Only use genuine Audi replacement parts! They are tested and aluminum-compatible.

Additional equipment must be approved by Audi of America!

Damage via contact corrosion is not covered by warranty!
