OVERVIEW
Genuine collared bolt for the original hinge attachment
The N-912-056-02 Genuine VW/Audi bolt secures the assigned hinge mounting connection on the vehicle configurations below. Its collared dual-drive head and M8×22 specification distinguish it from other fasteners in the same hinge assembly.
The verified applications include Golf door-hinge attachments and the separately listed A3 Cabriolet convertible-top stowage-cover hinge arrangement. Match the original connection and full factory number; this bolt is not a complete hinge or a universal hinge fastener.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-912-056-02.
- Factory specification: M8 × 22.
- Design: collared bolt with external hexagon and internal multipoint drive.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.
The collar provides the intended bearing surface at the assigned mounting point. Thread size and nominal length alone do not establish interchangeability. Correct hinge alignment and sound receiving threads remain necessary for a secure attachment.
Common reasons to replace
- The original hinge mounting bolt is missing during repair.
- The drive head is damaged or rounded.
- Threads are damaged or cross-threaded.
- The collar is distorted.
- The applicable factory hinge repair procedure requires replacement hardware.
Inspect the hinge, mounting surface and receiving threads before fitting new hardware. A replacement bolt cannot correct a worn hinge pivot, damaged mounting panel or incorrectly adjusted door or cover.

Installation guidance
Support the door or stowage cover using the factory procedure before releasing hinge hardware. Preserve or set the required alignment, start the correct bolt by hand and apply the factory tightening sequence and specification for the selected attachment.
Verify hinge security, panel gaps and unobstructed movement. Check the latch and seal contact as required by the repair procedure. Do not force a misaligned door or powered cover through its travel.
