OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi wiring harness clip with side guide
6Q0-971-848-P is the individual mechanical cable holder used at its assigned wiring-harness retention point. Its side guide supports the specified routing arrangement when the matching receiving mount remains serviceable.
The Q5 plug-in hybrid entries identify the power-electronics 12-volt harness repair location in factory service bulletin 2063075/1. The Volkswagen entries identify separate original wiring-retention applications. The bulletin specifies replacement of this clip if it is damaged during the repair.
Technical details and supplied quantity
- Manufacturer part number: 6Q0-971-848-P; compact reference 6Q0971848P.
- Brand: Genuine VW/Audi.
- Component: wiring harness retaining clip / cable holder with side guide.
- Function: mechanical harness support at the assigned original mounting point.
- Quantity: one individual clip per purchase.
This part does not include the harness, connector contacts, repair wires, textile tape or cable tie. It is not a power-electronics module. Select the separately required repair materials according to the specific work being performed.
Common reasons to replace
- The original clip is damaged during harness removal or repositioning.
- The retaining section is broken and no longer secures the correctly routed harness.
- The clip is missing at a confirmed original retention point.
- A factory-directed wiring repair requires renewal of the damaged holder.
A clip alone does not repair damaged wiring or resolve an electrical fault. The confirmed bulletin application addresses a harness that can chafe against nearby underbody trim. Any wire damage must be diagnosed and repaired before the harness is secured in the prescribed route.
Vehicle fitment
The following entries identify original mounting applications and their specific restrictions. Match the original clip and applicable VIN criteria before ordering.
| Vehicle | Model years | Engine | Configuration | Application restrictions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audi Q5 | 2020 | 2.0L turbocharged TFSI gasoline I4 with plug-in hybrid electric drive | FY SUV; 55 TFSI e quattro plug-in hybrid; Original factory transmission; specified 12-volt harness retention point determines application | Original power-electronics 12-volt harness repair location identified in bulletin 2063075/1; all VINs in this model-year application. Clip replacement is required if the original retainer is damaged during the prescribed repair. This is an individual mechanical clip, not the complete harness repair kit, power-electronics unit or a high-voltage component. Tape, cable tie, terminals and repair wires are separate. |
| Audi Q5 | 2021 | 2.0L turbocharged TFSI gasoline I4 with plug-in hybrid electric drive | FY SUV; 55 TFSI e quattro plug-in hybrid; Original factory transmission; specified 12-volt harness retention point determines application | Original power-electronics 12-volt harness repair location identified in bulletin 2063075/1; VIN sequence 000001–079893. Confirm the complete VIN and applicable factory repair instructions. Clip replacement is required if the original retainer is damaged during the prescribed repair. This is an individual mechanical clip, not the complete harness repair kit, power-electronics unit or a high-voltage component. Tape, cable tie, terminals and repair wires are separate. |
| Volkswagen Jetta | 2011, 2013–2014 | Engine-independent harness attachment | Mk6 sedan; original central wiring retention | Assigned original cable-holder position only; match mounting aperture, guide and full P suffix. Adjacent harnesses and cable ties are separate. |
| Volkswagen Golf | 2015 | 1.8L turbo gasoline / 2.0L TDI diesel | Mk7 hatchback; FWD; original wiring retention | Original cable-holder points assigned 6Q0971848P in wiring assembly; match mount and routing. No earlier Mk7 model-year inference. |
Installation and service guidance
Follow the current factory repair procedure for the affected vehicle and circuit. Perform the specified electrical isolation and access steps before disturbing the harness. Inspect the clip's receiving mount and the harness in the affected area.
Replace a damaged clip with the exact assigned part and complete any separately required wiring repair first. Secure the harness with the specified retention and protective materials, then verify that the repaired route clears the surrounding trim and components.
Do not force the clip into a differently shaped mount or use it to support a damaged connector. Restore the removed covers and perform the required circuit and vehicle checks after completing the repair.
