OVERVIEW
The original socket bolt for the specified timing assembly connection
N-902-127-03 is the Genuine VW/Audi socket-head combination bolt assigned to the timing assembly on the S4 Cabriolet configuration below. Its factory designation is AM8×47-S4-S.
Timing components use several visually similar fasteners with different lengths and head arrangements. Match the complete factory number at the original mounting position rather than selecting a bolt by diameter alone.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-902-127-03.
- Factory specification: AM8 × 47-S4-S; nominal M8 × 47.
- Design: socket-head combination bolt with internal hexagon drive.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.
The nominal diameter and length identify this particular fastener. They do not establish interchangeability with nearby timing bolts or a general-purpose M8 bolt. The original bearing arrangement and installed engagement must be preserved.
Common reasons to replace
- The internal drive has rounded or become damaged.
- Threads are damaged or cross-threaded.
- The head or bearing surface is distorted.
- The original bolt is missing during timing assembly work.
- The factory repair procedure calls for replacement at the serviced connection.
Inspect the receiving threads, component seating surfaces and associated mounting parts. Resolve damaged threads or an incorrectly seated component before fitting replacement hardware.

Installation guidance
Timing assembly work requires the vehicle-specific factory procedure, including the correct support and timing tools where required. Restore the original connection, start the bolt by hand and follow the specified tightening sequence and replacement requirements.
Complete all timing and assembly verification steps required by the factory procedure before returning the engine to service. Do not infer a torque value from the bolt diameter.
Ordering information
One genuine bolt is supplied. Timing chains, guides, sprockets, brackets and other bolts are not included. Verify the original number, VIN and quantity needed before ordering.
