OVERVIEW
Secure the compressor at its factory mounting point
N-910-718-01 is the Genuine VW/Audi M8x85 hex-collared bolt assigned to the air-conditioning compressor mounting positions below. The correct bolt works with the original compressor bracket and mounting sleeve arrangement.
Fasteners with a similar diameter can have different lengths, head forms and clamping requirements. Match the original factory number and assigned joint rather than choosing a bolt by appearance alone.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-910-718-01.
- Factory specification: M8 × 85 hex-collared bolt.
- Design: external hexagon drive with collar and long threaded shank.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.
The nominal thread and length describe the fastener itself. This listing supplies one bolt rather than the full quantity required for an assembly. Matching nuts, washers, brackets and related parts are separate.
Common reasons to replace
- The original bolt is missing after component service.
- Threads are damaged or will not engage correctly.
- The drive head is rounded or otherwise damaged.
- Corrosion or deformation makes the original fastener unsuitable for reuse.
Inspect the compressor mounting ears, bracket, sleeves and mating threads before replacement. This bolt secures the assembly and does not seal the refrigerant circuit or repair an internally failed compressor.
Vehicle fitment

Installation guidance
Follow the engine-specific compressor mounting procedure. Support the compressor without straining refrigerant lines, position the correct sleeves and hardware and apply the prescribed torque and sequence. Opening the refrigerant circuit is not required simply to identify this bolt.
Check seating and engagement before final tightening. Verify that the serviced assembly is properly secured and that all required functional checks are completed.
Ordering information
