WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, 2013 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Contact corrosion can occur if incorrect fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers) are used.

In addition, rubber or plastic parts and adhesive consist of non-conductive materials.
If there are doubts as to whether parts are suitable or not, use new parts.
Observe:
- Use only Original replacement parts that have been tested and are compatible with aluminum.
- Use only Volkswagen accessories.
- Damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by warranty.
