Unlike a threaded bolt, the cylindrical pin establishes alignment through its fitted relationship with the receiving bores. The confirmed applications below identify the BDF 24-valve VR6 lower timing cover arrangement and the listed BEW TDI engine sealing-flange locating position. These are different assemblies that specify the same original pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal number:\u003c\/strong\u003e N-043-207-2 \/ N0432072.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8x14; 8 mm nominal diameter and 14 mm length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e solid cylindrical locating pin without a threaded fastening shank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e original engine locating position that specifies this exact pin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e one pin.

The 2002 model year includes engine changes, so identifying a vehicle only as a VR6 is insufficient. The VR6 rows are restricted to the BDF 24-valve configuration and do not establish fitment to an earlier 12-valve engine. The separate TDI row covers the BEW engine in the early 2005 Mk4 Jetta; it does not extend to the later Mk5 BRM configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocate every pin required by the serviced assembly and inspect the mating bores. Follow the factory procedure for removal and installation, including the prescribed installed depth and orientation where applicable.
