Contact Corrosion

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Audi TT and 2008 Audi TT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Contact corrosion can occur if non-approved fasteners are used such as bolts, nuts, washers, etc.

For this reason, only connecting elements with a special surface coating are installed.

In addition, rubber or plastic parts and adhesive are made of materials that do not conduct electricity.

If you are not sure about the suitability of parts, install new parts.

NOTE:

The transmission housing consists of a magnesium alloy.
We only recommend original replacement parts. They have been checked and are compatible with aluminum.
It is recommended to use Audi accessories.

CAUTION:

Warranty does not cover contact corrosion damage.
