Contact Corrosion
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Audi SQ5, 2024 Audi Q5 e, 2024 Audi Q5, 2023 Audi SQ5, and 2023 Audi Q5 e. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Contact corrosion can occur if inadequate fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used.
For this reason, only fasteners with a special surface coating may be installed.
Furthermore, only rubber/plastic parts and adhesive made of electrically non-conductive materials are used.
If there is any doubt about whether parts can be used or not, then only use new parts. Refer to the appropriate Electronic Parts Information.
Note:
- Original replacement parts are recommended because they have been tested.
- The use of Audi accessories is recommended.
- Contact corrosion damage is not covered under warranty.
