OVERVIEW
Original lined clamp for controlled hose and tube routing
N-908-510-01 is a Genuine VW/Audi lined metal retaining clamp with factory size designation 10 x 15. It supports the specified hose or tube at its original mounting point while the lining separates the retained component from the metal band.
This is a mounting retainer rather than a clamp that seals a fluid connection. The original mounting position and routing determine compatibility; it should not be substituted for a pressure-hose connection or sealing clamp.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-908-510-01.
- Factory specification: Factory size designation 10 x 15.
- Design: Lined metal loop with mounting ears; no unverified rubber composition or metal grade is specified.
- Quantity supplied: one individual retaining clamp; mounting fastener, hose, tube and associated brackets are not included.
The factory designation describes the clamp, not shipping dimensions. Use the full original number to identify its profile and mounting arrangement rather than selecting by size alone.
Common reasons to replace
- A distorted loop or bent mounting ear that no longer holds the original routing correctly.
- Missing or damaged lining that allows direct contact with the metal band.
- A missing retainer or broken attachment found during hose or tube service.
Check the retained component for rubbing, leakage or other damage and inspect the mounting fastener and bracket. Replacing the retainer alone does not repair an already damaged hose or leaking connection.

Installation guidance
Fit the clamp at the original support point without twisting or pinching the hose or tube. Preserve factory routing and clearance from belts, moving components and hot surfaces.
Use the specified mounting hardware and tightening procedure. Recheck clearance and support through the relevant component movement after service.
