The two threaded ends and central unthreaded section provide the geometry assigned to this OEM fastener. Depending on the engine, its catalogued use includes an exhaust manifold, turbocharger flange or connecting pipe. Confirm the position in the original diagram before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM part number: N-044-520-3.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded exhaust stud; match N0445203 and the original installed dimensions.

Match the bore, complete part number, seating arrangement and original mounting location. A similar-looking stud can have a different installed depth or projecting threaded length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Reasons to Replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe original stud has broken during removal or exhaust service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreads are stripped, cross-threaded, corroded or otherwise damaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe stud is bent or missing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA previous repair installed hardware of the wrong length or diameter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe applicable repair procedure requires renewed mounting hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeat cycles and corrosion can make exhaust fasteners difficult to remove. Inspect the receiving threads and associated nuts during the repair. A new stud cannot correct a cracked flange, damaged gasket surface or stripped threaded hole. If an exhaust leak is present, identify the leaking joint and inspect the complete mounting arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and Service Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow the exhaust to cool and follow the workshop procedure for access and removal. If a stud is broken, resolve the extraction and receiving-thread condition before installing the new part. Set the installed depth and use the correct nut and gasket arrangement for the application. Follow the specified sequence and tightening requirements; do not infer them from the M10 size alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fastening count varies by assembly. For example, the catalogued 2.0T Eos and Mk5 GTI\/Jetta turbo-to-downpipe connection uses four of this stud, but this listing supplies one. Do not apply that count to the VR6 manifold or other engine configurations without checking the original diagram.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVehicle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel years\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEngine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication restrictions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudi A3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2006–2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0L turbocharged FSI or TSI gasoline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8P; FWD or quattro; Match original flange \/ fastening arrangement; not restricted by transmission in source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal engine\/exhaust fastening position specifying N0445203.
