On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin foil
or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the elec-

[ i] Tips
• If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have
the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and
fixed.
• You are well advised to keep a supply of spare fuses in your
vehicle. Fuses with the proper ampere ratings are available at your
authorized Audi dealer. •
