OVERVIEW
Genuine rivet nut for the assigned long-wheelbase body attachment
N-102-279-02 is the Genuine VW/Audi M6 rivet nut specified at the original body-frame position on the A8 L configurations below. The complete factory designation is M6×0.5–3.
This insert creates the assigned threaded attachment in the body assembly. Its installation arrangement differs from a loose hex nut, so verify the original number and receiving area before replacing it.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-102-279-02.
- Factory specification: M6; complete factory designation M6×0.5–3.
- Design: body-mounted rivet nut.
- Quantity supplied: one individual rivet nut.
The complete factory designation identifies the required insert configuration. Match the original body position, receiving hole and installation requirements rather than selecting any M6 insert. Separate body rivets and M5 rivet nuts have different part numbers.
Common reasons to replace
- The insert's internal thread is damaged.
- The original nut is missing after an approved body repair.
- The insert turns or is no longer retained in its mounting area.
- The flange or body of the insert is damaged.
- The factory repair procedure requires a replacement insert.
Inspect the receiving panel, hole shape and surrounding material before installing a replacement. An enlarged, distorted or corroded mounting area requires the appropriate body repair; fitting a new insert alone may not restore retention.
Vehicle fitment
The confirmed application requires the long-wheelbase K8L body and the original N10227902 location. Other body configurations and other rivet-nut positions require separate verification.

Installation guidance
Follow the vehicle-specific factory body repair procedure and use the specified rivet-nut setting tool and setup. Restore the original location, seating and protective finish. Do not use a generic setting value without confirming the required insert installation.
Verify the insert is seated and retained correctly, then check the mating fastener's engagement according to the repair procedure. Restore disturbed corrosion protection and trim as required.
Ordering information
