Bumper Cover Repair With ADAS: Volkswagen
I-CAR · April 5, 2019 · Volkswagen
Summary
This document outlines Volkswagen's strict limitations on bumper cover repairs and refinishing in the vicinity of lane change assistance control modules. It establishes specific paint thickness limits, repair exclusion zones, and restrictions on spot repairs and repainting.
What to do on the job
Do not perform plastic repairs, smoothing, spot repairs, or triple painting within a 25 cm radius of the lane change assistance control modules, and ensure total paint thickness in this area does not exceed 150 µm.
How to use it
Use this document to justify replacing a bumper cover instead of repairing it if damage or refinishing is required within 25 cm of a lane change sensor. It can also be used to support line items for paint thickness measurements and checking for previous refinish work using a grinding pattern.
