OVERVIEW
Original attachment hardware for the Q7 door hinge
WHT-001-236 is a Genuine VW/Audi M8 x 22 combination hex-head bolt used at the specified original door-hinge mounting point on the Q7 4L.
The external hex head and washer arrangement provide the intended bearing interface at the assigned hinge joint. Door hinges, door checks and latch strikers use several similar-looking fasteners; match the complete number and exact position before ordering.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: WHT-001-236.
- Factory specification: M8 x 22 mm combination hex-head bolt.
- Design: External six-sided head with washer bearing arrangement.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt.
M8 identifies the nominal thread diameter and 22 mm the catalog length. This is one bolt, not a hinge assembly or a complete set of door mounting hardware. No unverified torque, strength class or material specification is claimed.
Common reasons to replace
- Rounded hex flats that prevent reliable tightening or removal.
- Damaged threads, a bent shank or a compromised head or washer seating surface.
- Missing hardware or an incorrect substitute found during hinge replacement or door alignment service.
Inspect the hinge leaves, pin, receiving threads and mounting surfaces. Door sag, wind noise or difficult latching can result from hinge wear or alignment problems that a replacement bolt alone will not correct.

Installation guidance
Support the door before loosening hinge hardware. Preserve the original alignment reference and washer arrangement, start the bolt by hand and follow the factory repair procedure and tightening specification for the exact joint.
