OVERVIEW
Genuine Vehicle Fastening Washer
The N-011-560-9 Genuine VW/Audi flat washer restores the specified bearing surface in the original fastener assembly. It sits between the fastener and the designated mating component, helping distribute clamping load across the correct contact area. This listing includes one individual washer; the bolt, nut, bracket and mount are separate.
Technical Details
- Original part number: N-011-560-9.
- Inside diameter: 10.5 mm.
- Outside diameter: 18 mm.
- Thickness: 1.6 mm.
- Design: flat fastening washer.
- Quantity supplied: one washer.
The bore, outside diameter and thickness establish how the washer fits around the original fastener and against its bearing surface. A washer with the wrong dimensions can change clearance or prevent the hardware from seating as designed. This part serves various cataloged fastening positions; on the C5 allroad applications below, the catalog specifically identifies transmission mount bracket attachment. The added Vanagon profiles use the washer at the waterboxer cylinder-head tin; the 1993 Eurovan profile uses it at the timing-belt guard. These are separate fastening applications, each controlled by the original parts diagram.
Common Reasons to Replace
- The original washer is missing after mount, bracket or related component service.
- Corrosion or surface damage has compromised the seating surface.
- The washer is distorted, gouged or worn from movement in a loose joint.
- A previous repair used a washer of the wrong diameter or thickness.
- The repair procedure requires renewal of the fastening hardware assembly.
A loose joint or damaged bracket needs inspection of the entire fastening arrangement. Replacing the washer alone will not correct stripped threads, an elongated mounting hole, a failed mount or a damaged bolt. Use the original diagram to identify every component needed for the repair.
Installation and Service Notes
Match the complete part number and fastening position before installation. Inspect the bolt, nut and mating surfaces, and install the washer in the same location and orientation required by the workshop procedure. Support the component appropriately when servicing mounts or brackets.
Tightening torque belongs to the specific bolt and joint, rather than to a general washer size. Follow the repair instructions for the vehicle and replace any single-use fasteners separately when specified. Do not stack extra washers to compensate for an incorrect bolt or damaged component.
