This will he lp ensure that vehicle function, performance and safety
are no t impa ired =>& .
Attempting to work on electronic components and the software used with them can cause malfunctions . Because of the way elec ­
tronic components are interconnected with each other, such malfunctions can also have an adverse affect on other systems that
are not direct ly involved. Th is means that you risk both a substantial
reduction in the operational safety of your vehicle and an increased
wear of vehicle parts => & .
Authorized Audi dealers will perform this work in a professional and competent manne r or, in specia l cases, refer you to a profess iona l
company that specializes in such modificat ions.
& WARNING
Improper rep air s and modi fication s can change the way v eh icle
systems work and cau se seriou s personal injury.
0 Note
