OVERVIEW
Original oval-head hardware for the assigned door assembly
WHT-001-241 is a Genuine VW/Audi M8 x 14 oval-head combination bolt with an internal hex drive. It replaces the specified original fastener in the wagon door assemblies listed below.
Door assemblies use different hardware for hinges, locating points, reinforcements and other attachments. Confirm this exact number at the original fastening position; a short M8 bolt is not automatically interchangeable with a neighboring fastener.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: WHT-001-241.
- Factory specification: M8 x 14 mm oval-head internal-hex combination bolt.
- Design: Rounded head with washer-style bearing arrangement and recessed six-sided drive.
- Quantity supplied: one individual bolt; door, reinforcement, hinge, glass and other hardware are not included.
The nominal specification describes the bolt dimensions. No unverified drive-bit size, thread pitch, strength class, torque, shipping weight or package size is stated.
Common reasons to replace
- A damaged hex recess that prevents secure tool engagement.
- Damaged threads or an impaired head seating surface found during door assembly service.
- Missing hardware or an incorrect substitute discovered during repair.
Inspect the attached part, receiving threads and surrounding door structure. Rattles or poor door operation can have other causes; replacing the bolt alone does not repair a distorted bracket, damaged attachment or worn hinge.
