OVERVIEW
Restore the specified factory fastening point
N-014-748-2 is the Genuine VW/Audi M8x58 self-locking socket-head bolt assigned to the specific gearbox and intake-connection applications below. Its internal hex drive and factory locking specification distinguish it from a generic external-hex M8 bolt.
Fasteners with a similar diameter can have different lengths, head forms and clamping requirements. Match the original factory number and assigned joint rather than choosing a bolt by appearance alone.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-014-748-2.
- Factory specification: M8 × 58 self-locking internal-hex socket-head bolt.
- Design: cylindrical socket head, partially threaded shank and factory locking feature.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.
The nominal thread and length describe the fastener itself. This listing supplies one bolt rather than the full quantity required for an assembly. Matching nuts, washers, brackets and related parts are separate.
Common reasons to replace
- The original bolt is missing after component service.
- Threads are damaged or will not engage correctly.
- The drive head is rounded or otherwise damaged.
- Corrosion or deformation makes the original fastener unsuitable for reuse.
Inspect the mating threads, supported component and associated hardware. A new bolt cannot correct a cracked mounting feature, damaged bracket or stripped receiving thread.
