The screw part corrodes because it's plain steel.  I replace every Audi
hose clamp I take off with an all-stainless marine hose clamp (same
nonperforated strap that doesn't cut into hoses).  I pay through the nose
for them at West Marine's local outlet, but at least I can go there and get
a clamp right now.
