OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi Transmission Heat Shield Bolt M6 × 22mm
N-907-246-01 is an original Volkswagen Group fastening component that secures the original transmission-mount heat shield at its assigned fastening point. The confirmed Passat profiles below identify the original gearbox arrangements and fastening locations that specify this exact part. One individual bolt is supplied.
Technical details
- OEM number: N-907-246-01 / N90724601.
- Catalog identity: Combined hexagon-head bolt.
- Factory specification: M6 × 22; 6mm nominal metric thread diameter and 22mm nominal catalog length.
- Profile visible in the original photo: external hexagon head and integral seating collar.
- Assembly: Assigned transmission heat-shield fastening position, as detailed in the fitment table.
- Supply: One individual component; related bolts, nuts, washers, sleeves and brackets are separate items.
A mounting assembly can contain several similar-looking bolts with different lengths and assigned positions. Using the specified bolt preserves the intended seating arrangement at this location; the nominal M6 thread size does not make another bolt interchangeable.
Common reasons to replace
Common replacement reasons include a damaged or rounded hexagon, stripped or corroded threads, a distorted collar, or missing hardware. Inspect the component during transmission removal and refitting, and follow the applicable original instructions where hardware renewal is required. Correct fastening hardware helps restore the intended assembly at the specified mounting point.
Check the complete shield mounting arrangement before selecting replacement hardware. Damaged shield mounting tabs, stripped receiving threads or a distorted seating surface need their own repair. Replacing this part alone will not correct those conditions. A transmission noise, vibration or starting concern is not sufficient evidence that this particular component has failed; diagnose the complete assembly and identify the affected fastening point.
Installation and service notes
Verify the full OEM number, installed gearbox code and exact original fastening position before purchase. Transmission heat-shield arrangements can vary by gearbox and drivetrain, and parts at adjacent catalog positions can have different specifications. Keep removed hardware organized by position rather than choosing replacements by appearance alone.
Inspect the shield, its receiving threads and its mounting points. Start the bolt by hand and verify that its collar sits correctly without distorting the shield. Restore the original clearance to nearby drivetrain and exhaust components. Follow the applicable service procedure for access, component support, assembly sequence and final tightening. Tightening values and any renewal requirements belong to the complete original joint and must be taken from the vehicle-specific procedure. Do not substitute a generic torque or add an unverified thread treatment.
