OVERVIEW
Genuine hex-head panel fastening hardware
The N-015-945-1 Genuine VW/Audi screw is used at the original CD-changer and wing/wheel-housing liner mounting connections identified below. It is an individual hex-head panel fastener with the nominal factory 6.5 × 16 specification.
The Jetta audio application requires the original PR 7A2 CD-changer installation. The Passat body application is restricted to the stated early B5 chassis branch. These different connections share a part number but do not make the screw universal across either assembly.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-015-945-1.
- Nominal factory specification: 6.5 × 16.
- Design: external hex-head panel screw.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.
The nominal specification describes the fastener itself rather than packaged shipping dimensions. Match the complete factory number, original attachment point and head seating arrangement. Similar-looking hardware elsewhere in the same assembly can differ in length, thread size or bearing surface.
Common reasons to replace
- A bolt is missing after component removal or previous service.
- The drive head is damaged or rounded.
- The threads have been crossed, stripped or otherwise damaged.
- The bolt is bent or its bearing surface no longer seats correctly.
- A previous repair used incorrect substitute hardware.
Inspect the changer bracket or wheel-liner attachment and its original receiver before fitting replacement hardware. A new screw cannot repair a broken mounting tab, damaged clip or stripped receiver. Audio faults and loose body trim require diagnosis at their actual source.

Installation guidance
Follow the factory procedure for the changer bracket or wheel-housing component. Support the serviced component, protect nearby wiring and retain the prescribed washer and clip arrangement during disassembly.
Align the mating components before engaging the bolt, start the threads carefully and use the correct tool for the actual drive. Follow the factory tightening instruction and sequence for the exact connection. Do not transfer torque values between different applications that happen to use the same bolt number.
Verify the bracket or liner is seated and retained correctly, restore disturbed covers and connections and perform the applicable audio or clearance checks. Do not overtighten to compensate for a damaged receiver.
Ordering information
