Contact corrosion The use of unsuitable connection elements causes contact corrosion (screws, nuts, washers, ...). This is why only connection elements with a special surface coatings are fitted. Therefore, the rubber or plastic parts and the adhesives are made from electrically non-conductive materials. In case of doubt regarding the re-use of certain parts, the use of new parts is recommended.   WARNING t  It is recommended to use only original connection material as well as spare parts which are tested and compatible with aluminum, see → Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts. t  It is recommended to use only Škoda accessories. t  Any damage resulting from contact corrosion is not covered by the terms of the warranty.   Note t  It is possible to use the contact surface cleaning set -VAS6410- for repair work on contact surfaces, which show traces of contact corrosion (oxydation). t  Examples for application of the contact surface cleaning set -VAS6410- can be found in the Workshop Manual „Electrical System - General notes“ → Electrical System - General notes; Rep. gr.97.
