Audi Collision Repair And Material Guides
I-CAR · December 4, 2020 · Audi
Summary
Audi provides three public self-study and material guides—the Collision Frame Technology Guide, Body Construction guide, and Auto Body-Collision guide—to help technicians understand Audi vehicle structures, materials, and joining methods. These documents serve as general informational resources and do not replace vehicle-specific OEM repair manuals.
What to do on the job
Use these self-study guides as a general educational resource to understand Audi materials, joining methods, and construction, but always refer to the vehicle-specific Audi OEM repair manual for actual repair procedures.
How to use it
Use these guides to justify and explain the complexity of Audi materials (such as aluminum alloys, carbon fiber, and high-strength steels) and factory joining methods when negotiating repair times or specialized procedures with insurers. They provide the scientific and technical background to support why specific OEM repair methods and corrosion protection are required.
