OVERVIEW

Genuine Rear Brake Caliper Carrier Hardware

The N-907-294-01 Genuine VW/Audi socket head bolt secures the rear disc-brake caliper carrier at the factory mounting position. The carrier holds the brake pads in their working position relative to the disc, so its attachment hardware must match the original brake assembly. This listing supplies one bolt for a matched carrier application.

Technical Details

  • OEM part number: N-907-294-01.
  • Thread specification: M10 × 1.25.
  • Nominal bolt length: 21 mm.
  • Drive: internal hexagon/socket head.
  • Application: original rear disc-brake caliper carrier; GIRLING position 3 on the listed Golf/GTI/Jetta, and matched LUCAS assembly on the listed Passat.
  • Golf/GTI/Jetta carrier references: 1H0-615-425 and 1H0-615-426.
  • Quantity supplied: one bolt. The factory diagram specifies four of these bolts across the applicable rear carrier assembly.

For the Golf/GTI/Jetta applications, the factory catalog separates this 21 mm bolt from the earlier N-019-912-3 20 mm version at chassis 1H-T-000001. Match the chassis, brake equipment and fastener specification before ordering; a similar-looking bolt or a broad model-year match does not establish compatibility.

Common Reasons to Replace

  • The internal hex socket is rounded or damaged during removal, preventing reliable tool engagement.
  • Threads are damaged, cross-threaded or affected by corrosion.
  • Hardware is missing, has been substituted with an incorrect length or thread pitch, or cannot be positively identified during a brake service.
  • The bolt is being renewed during carrier removal after inspection or where the applicable repair procedure requires replacement.

Inspect the carrier mounting threads and mating surfaces when servicing this hardware. A new bolt does not correct damaged threads in the mounting component. Brake noise, uneven wear or vibration can have several causes; inspect the pads, disc, carrier and caliper rather than assuming this fastener alone will resolve them.

Vehicle Fitment

The applications below require the specified original rear disc-brake carrier. Engine, trim, chassis and brake-equipment restrictions are part of the fitment. Rear drum-brake vehicles do not use this carrier bolt.

Installation and Ordering Notes

Verify the original bolt and carrier against the part number and thread dimensions. Use the factory tightening procedure for the exact vehicle and mounting position, including any prescribed thread preparation or replacement instruction. No universal tightening torque or thread-locking treatment is specified here because the applicable repair procedure controls installation.

This is carrier attachment hardware, not the caliper guide-pin bolt. Pads, discs, carrier, caliper, tools and other mounting hardware are sold separately. The gallery repeats the available original product photograph to provide seven images; repeated images show the same bolt and do not represent additional pieces.
