Coupling, driveshaft, differential and other bolts are separate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the cataloged MQB rear coupling, this number identifies the coupling-to-rear-differential bolt; driveshaft-to-coupling hardware is separately specified as WHT005179.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flex coupling connects the rotating driveline components through its designed mounting arrangement. Correct hardware and fastening procedures are necessary to retain the joint in its intended position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdjacent coupling attachments can use bolts with different lengths, drive forms and part numbers. Select this fastener by the original number and exact connection, rather than treating every M10 coupling bolt as interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon reasons to replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRenew the bolt whenever the applicable repair procedure requires replacement after removal during driveshaft, coupling or rear drivetrain service. Replace missing hardware, damaged threads, rounded hex surfaces, deformation or corrosion affecting the bolt's condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the flex coupling and mating flanges when the original connection was loose or damaged. Cracks, displaced sleeves, damaged mating threads or defective mounting surfaces require attention beyond a new bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDriveline vibration, knocking or movement can originate from the coupling, shaft support, mounting hardware or another component. A new bolt alone will not repair a deteriorated flex joint, misaligned assembly or damaged shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and service notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow the factory procedure for supporting the vehicle and driveline. Preserve any required shaft orientation marks and identify the exact coupling attachment before disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare the original bolt number and position with the repair instructions. Use the correct specified hardware at each side of the coupling; do not substitute this bolt for WHT005179 or N90846102 merely because they are listed nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect mating threads and the coupling sleeves before starting the bolt by hand. Ensure that the assembly is seated and oriented as prescribed, then follow the required tightening sequence, specification and replacement-hardware instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not determine torque from the published bolt dimensions or transfer a value from another chassis or coupling. Use thread treatments only when the relevant procedure specifies them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete the prescribed driveline inspection after installation. This listing supplies one original bolt, rather than the full set of coupling hardware or a replacement flex coupling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\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\u003eChassis and configuration\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 S3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0L turbocharged gasoline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8V sedan, quattro; Original all-wheel-drive coupling arrangement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecified driveshaft flex-coupling mounting bolt; match the original N10329102 attachment.
