Why is there white, flaky stuff around my A6 Quattro’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your A6 Quattro’s battery terminals is known as corrosion.

If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals.
