OVERVIEW
Genuine body and lighting fastening washer
The N-011-673-5 Genuine VW/Audi plain washer belongs to the original attachment hardware used at the body and lighting connections listed below. The verified applications include rear exterior-lamp assemblies on specified older Audi models, together with assigned bumper and front-fender fastening points.
The washer forms a flat bearing surface in the intended hardware stack. Matching the original mounting location matters because similar washers elsewhere on the vehicle can differ in inside diameter, outside diameter or thickness.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-011-673-5.
- Factory nominal dimensions: 5.5 mm inside diameter × 18 mm outside diameter × 1.6 mm thickness.
- Type: plain, flat mounting washer.
- Applications: assigned exterior-lighting and body hardware positions in the fitment table.
- Unit supplied: one individual washer.
These dimensions describe the washer itself rather than a shipping package. The washer is not a lamp sealing gasket, electrical terminal or a fluid sealing ring. It must be installed in the original fastening arrangement with the correct associated screw or nut.
Common reasons to replace
- A washer is missing after lamp or body-trim service.
- The washer has become bent or distorted.
- The center opening or flat bearing surface is damaged.
- Corrosion or wear has compromised the original hardware.
- A previous repair used a washer of the wrong diameter or thickness.
Inspect the mating fastener, receiver and lamp or panel attachment point during service. A new washer cannot restore a cracked lamp housing, broken mounting tab or stripped receiver. Diagnose loose mounting or water entry at the appropriate component rather than assuming replacement of this washer will resolve every symptom.

Installation guidance
Follow the factory removal and installation procedure for the lamp or panel attachment being serviced. Support the component and preserve the original order of washers and associated hardware during disassembly. Clean and inspect the bearing surfaces before reassembly.
Install the specified washer in its intended position and align the component before engaging the fastener. Apply the tightening instruction for that exact connection. Do not add extra washers or tightening force to compensate for a damaged mounting point.
After service, check that the lamp or panel is seated and retained correctly. Restore any removed seals, covers and trim as prescribed, and verify lighting operation when a lamp assembly has been disturbed.
Ordering information
