I-CAR · June 4, 2026 · Audi
Summary
This article outlines Audi's official guidance for replacing a service part when no specific repair procedure is documented in the manual. In these cases, Audi instructs technicians to separate the original joint and re-create it with the replacement part at the factory seams, following general joining guidelines.
What to do on the job
When no specific repair procedure exists for an Audi part, separate the original joint and re-create it at the factory seams using Audi's general thermal or cold joining guidelines.
How to use it
Use this document to justify labor and operations for replacing Audi body components that lack a dedicated step-by-step repair manual procedure. It proves that Audi officially sanctions replacing parts at factory seams by replicating the original joint using their general body repair guidelines (thermal/cold joining), which can help defend estimates and supplements during insurer negotiations.
