Contact corrosion can occur when incorrect fasteners (bolts, nuts,
washers, etc.) are used.
For this reason, only fastening elements with a special surface
coating (Dachromet) are installed. These elements can be rec‐
ognized by their green color.
In addition, rubber and plastic parts and adhesive are of non-
conducting materials.
If there are doubts as to whether parts should be reinstalled, in‐
stall new parts.

Only use genuine Audi replacement parts. They have been
checked and are compatible with aluminum.
