OVERVIEW
Original mounting hardware for the assigned seat-belt connection
N-989-243-03 is the Genuine VW/Audi collared mounting bolt used at the specified Touareg seat-belt attachment. Its shaped shank, bearing collar and internal multipoint drive form part of the original connection.
Seat-belt hardware is selected for the precise mounting arrangement. The bolt must match the original location and belt fitting; another bolt of similar diameter or appearance is not automatically interchangeable.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: N-989-243-03.
- Factory specification: Factory seat-belt mounting bolt N-989-243-03.
- Design: collared bolt with internal multipoint drive and shaped shank.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.
Use the complete factory number to identify the original fastener. Match the belt fitting, spacer arrangement and mounting position rather than selecting general-purpose hardware by thread diameter.
Common reasons to replace
- The factory restraint-system repair procedure specifies a new bolt.
- The drive recess or threads are damaged.
- The collar or shank is deformed.
- Corrosion affects the bearing or threaded surfaces.
- The original fastener is missing or incorrect.
Inspect the belt mounting fitting and body anchor for damage. Follow the factory assessment and replacement requirements after a collision or restraint-system event; replacing mounting hardware alone does not establish that the complete restraint assembly is serviceable.

Installation guidance
Follow the vehicle-specific restraint-system repair procedure, including the required handling and electrical-isolation steps for nearby restraint components. Preserve the original fitting and spacer arrangement and tighten the correct fastener to the prescribed specification.
Confirm proper mounting and unrestricted belt routing, then complete the restraint-system checks required by the repair procedure. Do not alter the bolt or substitute a general-purpose fastener.
Ordering information
Supplied individually as one genuine mounting bolt. Seat belt, buckle, tensioner, spacers and other hardware are separate. Confirm the original part number, attachment location and quantity needed.
