I-CAR · July 2, 2018 · Audi
Summary
This article clarifies Audi's policy on determining rivet quantities and types for vehicle repairs. For all Audi models, the quantity of replacement rivets required is determined by counting the exact number of rivets that were removed during disassembly.
What to do on the job
Count and document the exact number of rivets removed during disassembly to determine the required replacement quantity, and reference the repair procedure notes or graphics for the correct rivet type and size.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the quantity of rivets billed on an estimate or supplement. Explain to insurers that Audi does not always list a static rivet count in the manual; instead, the technician must match the exact quantity removed during the teardown process.
