OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi 8H0-806-221 is an individual mounting compensating piece for the original assigned support arrangement. The confirmed applications below identify it as a radiator-support spacer or headlamp mounting compensating piece, according to the vehicle and factory location.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: 8H0-806-221 / 8H0806221.
- Component type: mounting compensating piece/spacer.
- Quantity supplied: one compensating-piece assembly.
- The archive photo shows the threaded mounting element and outer sleeve.
- Headlamp, radiator support, body panels and separate attachment fasteners are not included.
Match the original support and compensating-piece profile before ordering. The small mounting component is separately specified from the complete support or headlamp assembly. Its use at one factory location does not establish compatibility with every mount on the same vehicle.
Common reasons to replace
- A damaged original compensating piece prevents correct mounting.
- The component is missing from its assigned support location.
- The original mounting element or sleeve is damaged during removal.
- A factory-approved support or headlamp repair requires renewal of the assigned compensating piece.
Inspect the receiving support, mounting hole and adjoining attachment separately. A damaged support or headlamp mounting tab requires its own repair. Do not use this small spacer to compensate for a bent support or a mismatched assembly, and do not infer a universal adjustment range from its threaded appearance.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory removal and installation procedure for the assigned support or headlamp location. Preserve the prescribed assembly positioning and inspect the original receiving features before installing the replacement.
Compare the threaded element and sleeve with the original component and fit them in the specified orientation. Use the separately specified fastening hardware and factory tightening procedure; avoid forcing an incompatible compensating piece into the mount.
After assembly, verify that the component and adjoining parts seat correctly. Complete any required support-position, panel-clearance or headlamp-alignment checks called for by the vehicle repair procedure.
