Contact corrosion

Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable fastening elements (screws, bolts, nuts, washers) are used.

For this reason, only connecting elements with a special surface coating have been fitted.

In addition, rubber, plastic and adhesives are made of non-conductive materials.

In case of doubt about the reusability of parts renew them → Electronic Parts Catalogue.

Please note:

It is recommended to use genuine parts which are tested and compatible with aluminium.
The use of VW parts is recommended.
Damage due to contact corrosion is not covered by the warranty.
