OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi 8E0-201-190-Q is an individual two-point mechanical securing clip. The confirmed applications below use it at assigned line or protective-profile retaining points in the original fuel-tank and fuel-line assembly. It renews the original clip at the matching mounting location.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: 8E0-201-190-Q / 8E0201190Q.
- Factory securing-clip description: two-point.
- Quantity supplied: one individual mechanical clip.
- Lines, protective profile, hoses and other mounting components are separately specified.
The two-point description identifies this clip configuration and does not establish universal compatibility with all two-line retainers. Match the original part number, mounting profile and route before ordering. Three-point clips and other suffix revisions have separate catalogued locations and must be checked independently.
Common reasons to replace
- A damaged retaining feature no longer supports the original line or protective profile.
- The original clip is broken or missing from its assigned mounting point.
- The mounting feature is damaged during line or underbody service.
- Inspection identifies a damaged clip while correcting the original line routing.
Inspect the retained lines and surrounding profile separately. A new clip does not repair a leaking hose, damaged pipe or worn protective component. Replace any separately damaged parts according to the diagnosed condition and factory repair procedure.
Vehicle fitment
These rows identify confirmed original clip applications. The original mounting point, body, engine-equipment code and production restriction determine fitment.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory access and retaining-clip procedure for the assigned mounting location. Release the old clip carefully without bending or pulling the retained lines. If line disconnection is separately required, follow the factory isolation, depressurization and repair instructions for that circuit.
Compare the replacement with the original, seat it at its assigned mount and restore the prescribed line/profile route. Check secure retention, correct clearance and freedom from strain before completing assembly. Renew any separately damaged protective profile or mounting components, and perform the required system checks when connected lines have been serviced.
