OVERVIEW
Genuine Hex Head Fastening Bolt
The N-010-247-8 Genuine VW/Audi hex head bolt restores the specified original fastener at the matched attachment point. Its M8 thread diameter, 35 mm nominal length and external hex head must correspond to the factory hardware arrangement. This listing includes one individual bolt; washers, nuts, brackets and other components are separate.
Technical Details
- Original part number: N-010-247-8.
- Catalog size: M8 × 35 mm.
- Drive design: external hex head.
- Quantity supplied: one bolt.
- Used at different original fastening positions across the listed vehicles.
The 35 mm nominal length is measured beneath the head. Thread diameter alone does not establish interchangeability: the correct length, bearing surface and complete fastener arrangement are necessary for the original joint to clamp properly. A longer bolt can bottom out, while a shorter bolt can provide inadequate thread engagement.
The catalog specifically identifies power steering pump-to-bracket mounting on the C5 RS6 4.2T. Other listed vehicles use this standard part in different attachment positions. Confirm the original diagram for the component being serviced before ordering.
Common Reasons to Replace
- The original bolt is missing after component or bracket service.
- The hex head is damaged or rounded.
- The threads are damaged, corroded or unable to engage correctly.
- A previous repair used hardware of the wrong length or head design.
- The applicable repair procedure specifies new fastening hardware.
Loose or damaged mounting hardware can accompany wear in the bracket or component being attached. Inspect the mating threads, mounting holes and bearing surfaces. Replacing the bolt alone cannot correct a cracked bracket, stripped housing or failed pump mount.
Installation and Service Notes
Confirm the complete part number and fastening location. Inspect and clean the mating threads according to the repair procedure, and retain or replace the correct washers and related hardware as specified. Use a properly fitting socket to protect the external hex head.
Follow the tightening specification for the exact vehicle, component and joint. An M8 bolt does not have one universal installation torque. Lubrication, thread treatment, tightening sequence and replacement requirements must come from the workshop procedure.
Check that the original components seat correctly and the fastener clamps the intended joint without bottoming out. Do not substitute extra washers to compensate for a bolt of the wrong length or damaged hardware. Modified brackets and replacement assemblies may require different fasteners from the original arrangement.
