Contact Corrosion
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Audi Q5 e, 2022 Audi Q5, 2021 Audi Q5 e, and 2021 Audi Q5. 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 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.
