OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi inner CV axle flange bolt, part number N-909-911-02. This M10 x 52 fastener secures the matching inner constant-velocity joint to the transmission output flange. In the confirmed manual-transmission applications below, multiple bolts clamp the joint and its retaining arrangement evenly to maintain the connection between the gearbox and drive axle.
Technical details
- Original part number: N-909-911-02 / N90991102.
- Factory service designation: M10 x 52 mm; this is the fastener size, not a shipping measurement.
- Socket head with internal multipoint drive, visible in the product photo.
- Mounting position: inner CV joint / gearbox output flange on the verified applications.
- Supplied as one bolt. Six bolts are required for one matching joint; order the quantity needed for the repair.
Common reasons to replace
Use new fasteners when the factory procedure requires replacement after removing the inner CV joint for axle, gearbox or related service. Rounded drive recesses, damaged threads, corrosion or evidence of improper previous tightening also require attention. Volkswagen's service procedure calls for new bolts when reinstalling the matching drive shaft.
A loose axle connection, vibration or driveline noise needs proper diagnosis. Installing a new bolt alone will not correct a worn CV joint, bent axle, damaged flange, incorrect retaining plate or stripped threaded hole. Inspect the complete fastening arrangement and replace damaged mating components as required.
Installation and service notes
Confirm the installed transmission, flange and bolt length before ordering. Seat the correct multipoint tool fully in the recess and follow the VIN-specific tightening sequence and torque procedure. Ensure the joint is properly seated and that threads and contact surfaces meet the repair manual's cleanliness and lubrication requirements.
Do not substitute a similar-looking bolt based only on its diameter. The factory procedure distinguishes this M10 x 52 manual-transmission bolt from the shorter M10 x 23 N-909-910-02 used for the corresponding DSG arrangement. Use the fastener specified for the actual joint; this bolt is not the central wheel-hub axle bolt.
