OVERVIEW
Original long bolt for the diesel fuel-filter clamp
N-102-475-04 is a Genuine VW/Audi M6 x 65 collared socket-head bolt. In the applications listed below it secures the original fuel-filter clamping bracket on the A4/Mk4 platform.
The long threaded shank reaches through the specified clamp arrangement, while the collared head provides its bearing interface. Match the complete part number, head arrangement and original attachment position. A shorter general-purpose screw can appear similar without providing the intended thread engagement.
Technical details
- Factory number: N-102-475-04.
- Nominal specification: M6 x 65 mm.
- Design: collared cylindrical head with recessed internal-hex drive, as shown in the archive product photo.
- Application: specified original diesel fuel-filter clamp.
- Quantity: one individual bolt.
The nominal dimensions describe the fastener, not packaged shipping dimensions. This listing does not include the filter, clamp, retaining bracket, hose connections or a complete mounting kit. Use the factory tightening specification for the exact bracket; no unverified torque or strength class is claimed.
Common reasons to replace
- A rounded internal drive that prevents controlled tightening or removal.
- Damaged threads or a bent shank discovered during filter or bracket service.
- A missing original bolt or an incorrect substitute with the wrong length or bearing arrangement.
- A damaged head or collar that no longer seats correctly against the clamp.
Inspect the filter clamp and its receiving thread before installing new hardware. A distorted clamp, enlarged mounting point or damaged bracket needs repair or replacement; overtightening a replacement screw will not correct those faults. A loose filter can also result from an incorrect filter diameter or an improperly positioned clamp.

Installation guidance
Follow the vehicle’s fuel-filter service procedure. Support the filter and preserve the original clamp and hose routing. Start the screw by hand in sound receiving threads, then use the correctly fitting hex tool and the factory tightening procedure. Do not use the bolt to pull a misaligned clamp into place.
After assembly, verify filter security and clearance to adjacent hoses and wiring. If fuel connections were disturbed, follow the engine-specific priming and leak-check procedure before normal operation.
