Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Contact corrosion

Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual / Electrical system / Technical data / Repair instructions / Contact corrosion

Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) are used.

Therefore, only fastening elements with a special surface coating are installed in the vehicle.

In addition, rubber and plastic parts as well as adhesives are made of electrically non-conductive materials.

If there is any doubt about the suitability of parts, a general rule is to use new parts → Electronic Parts Catalogue.

Please observe the following:

Use only Genuine replacement parts which are tested and compatible with aluminium.

Use only Volkswagen Genuine Accessories.

Damage due to contact corrosion is not covered by warranty.
