Any existing punch rivets, e.g. on the side
panel, are pressed out with the aid of a
special tool and replaced with a full rivet or
blind rivet after replacement.
All newly fitted rivets are also secured with a
two-component adhesive.
Filling and painting are carried out in the
same way as for the Audi A8.
Depending on the different types of semi-
finished products (sheet metal, cast parts and
extruded profile parts), different concepts are
used for repairs on the A2.
Sheet metal parts with only slight
deformations can be reshaped. More heavily
deformed panels can be replaced either as a
unit or by section.
The bonding techniques that are used are
riveting in conjunction with adhesive
bonding, using a cold-curing two-component
adhesive.
