OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi Multi-Purpose Mounting Screw
N-909-722-01 is a genuine replacement screw used at specified body and cooling-system mounting points. Exact applications include a front bumper side bracket and a radiator / intercooler mount bracket. Select it by the original part number and fastening position: a matching vehicle model alone does not establish that every bracket on that vehicle uses this screw.
Technical details
- OEM part number: N-909-722-01 / N90972201.
- Catalog size: 6 x 25 mm.
- Head: Low-profile lens head with an internal Torx drive.
- Purpose: Retains the component at an assigned screw location; the correct head and shank geometry help the joint seat as designed.
- Supply: One individual screw. Brackets, clips and retained components are supplied separately.
Common reasons to replace
Replace missing hardware during bracket, cooling component or front trim service. A damaged drive recess can prevent the tool from seating fully and make future removal difficult. Corroded or distorted threads, a bent shank, or a damaged head can also prevent the screw from engaging and seating correctly. Inspect the mating mounting point whenever the original screw has loosened or pulled out; replacing the screw alone will not repair a cracked bracket or stripped receiver.
Installation and service notes
Compare the removed screw and the vehicle diagram before installation. Start the screw by hand so that the original mounting point is engaged correctly, align the retained component without forcing it, and use a fully seated drive tool. Follow the repair procedure for that particular joint. Do not substitute a general suspension or engine bolt torque value for a small mounting screw, and do not force it into a damaged receiver. The listed size is not a published thread-pitch specification.
Vehicle fitment
The table identifies catalog-supported applications. Where a row lists multiple engines across a model-year range, those are the catalog's available configurations, not a claim that each engine was offered in every year. Match the vehicle's actual engine, equipment and original fastening diagram before ordering.
