OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi vacuum-line hose clamp, part number N-102-036-01. This original ear-style band clamp secures the specified hose connection. The confirmed applications below identify selected turbocharger vacuum-line and hose connections, with the original mounting position retained where the catalog provides it.
Technical details
- Original part number: N-102-036-01 / N10203601.
- Published nominal size: 12.3 x 7 x 0.6 mm.
- Ear-style band clamp as pictured, supplied individually.
- Hoses, valves, turbocharger and other service parts are separate.
- Match the specified clamp number and connection; this is not a universal hose clamp.
The clamp retains the hose on its specified fitting. Correct placement and sizing matter because a damaged or incorrectly installed clamp can leave a connection insecure or damage the hose. The published dimensions describe this part and should not be treated as a blanket fitment recommendation for any hose of a similar apparent size.
Common reasons to replace
Replace a clamp that is missing, distorted, damaged during removal or unable to retain the hose correctly. Renew it when the factory repair procedure calls for replacement after the connection is opened.
Inspect the hose end, sealing area and fitting at the same time. A hardened or split hose, a damaged fitting or an incorrectly seated connection requires its own repair. A new clamp cannot restore deteriorated rubber or repair a broken connection.
Vacuum leaks and faults in turbocharger control can have several causes. Symptoms such as reduced performance, irregular boost response or an engine warning light require diagnosis of the hoses, valves and control system. This clamp is connection hardware and should not be presented as a standalone cure for a turbocharger fault.
Installation and service notes
Follow the factory instructions for the exact engine and connection. Allow hot engine and turbocharger components to cool before service. Keep the open hose and fitting clean, and compare the original component arrangement with the factory diagram.
Seat the correct hose fully and position the clamp as specified. Use the prescribed clamp tool and installation method. Avoid cutting, crushing or twisting the hose, and do not substitute unrelated hardware solely because it can be tightened around the connection.
Route the hose as originally specified, with clearance from heat sources and moving components. Check that the connection is secure and that the hose is free from kinks or tension.
Complete the applicable leak and operating checks after repair. If an engine or boost-control fault remains, continue diagnosis rather than increasing clamp force. Additional hoses and control components may require separate service.
