OVERVIEW

Genuine M7×36 timing-chain guide fastener

The N-911-290-01 Genuine VW/Audi bolt secures the assigned timing-chain guide attachment on the engine configurations below. Its M7×36 specification and internal multipoint drive distinguish it from the other bolts used throughout the timing assembly.

Guide hardware must match the original attachment and engine. This listing supplies one bolt. It does not include the guide, timing chain, tensioner or a full set of timing-service hardware.

Technical details

  • Complete factory number: N-911-290-01.
  • Factory specification: M7 × 36.
  • Design: collared socket-head bolt with internal multipoint drive.
  • Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.

Nominal diameter and length identify the factory hardware. The original head and collar provide the specified contact geometry. Do not substitute an M6 or M8 bolt or another timing fastener with a similar appearance.

Common reasons to replace

  • The original guide bolt is missing during timing-system repair.
  • The internal drive recess is stripped or damaged.
  • Threads are damaged or cross-threaded.
  • The collar or head is distorted.
  • The applicable factory guide replacement procedure calls for new hardware.

Inspect the guide, locating surfaces and receiving threads before assembly. Chain noise, timing faults and worn guides require separate diagnosis. A new bolt cannot restore the shape or wear surface of a damaged timing-chain guide.

Vehicle fitment

Use at the original guide attachment assigned this exact factory number. Observe the engine codes and body restrictions. The guide bolts used elsewhere in the same engine can have different dimensions.

Installation guidance

Follow the engine-specific factory timing procedure, including locking, support and counterholding requirements. Seat the guide correctly and use a fully engaged multipoint tool. Apply only the tightening and thread-preparation instructions specified for this attachment.

Complete the prescribed mechanical timing checks before starting the engine. Restore all disturbed seals and covers and check the serviced assembly as directed. Do not use torque or angle values from adjacent timing bolts.

Ordering information

Supplied as one genuine bolt. Some timing-service assemblies require multiple examples of this number; confirm the quantity for the exact repair. Chain, guides, tensioners, gaskets and additional fasteners are not included.
