OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi WHT-006-765-A is the individual adjusting screw specified at the original diesel particulate-filter mounting bracket on the confirmed TDI applications below. Correct bracket hardware helps the exhaust assembly sit in its prescribed mounting position during service.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: WHT-006-765-A / WHT006765A.
- Component: particulate-filter bracket adjusting screw.
- Factory nominal specification: M12 × 1, left-hand thread, 15.5 mm designation.
- Quantity supplied: one individual adjusting screw.
- The photographed part has the threaded adjusting body and central opening shown in the original product image.
The thread specification is a functional hardware designation. Match the A suffix, thread direction and original bracket assignment before ordering. The separately specified WHT006765 at another mounting point must not be substituted solely because its part number is similar. This listing supplies the adjusting screw alone; the particulate filter, mounting brackets and other fastening hardware are separate.
Common reasons to replace
- The original adjusting element is missing during particulate-filter or bracket service.
- Damaged threads prevent the element from seating or adjusting correctly.
- The adjusting body is damaged during removal.
- The factory repair procedure calls for replacement of the assigned hardware.
Inspect the mating bracket threads and the complete mounting arrangement before replacing the screw. A damaged bracket, incorrect mounting alignment or another loose fastener requires its own repair. Replacing this screw alone does not diagnose an exhaust leak, particulate-filter fault or emissions-system warning.
Vehicle fitment
Fitment requires the original diesel particulate-filter bracket that specifies this exact adjusting screw. Engine type and mounting location matter; a model name alone is insufficient.

Installation and service guidance
Use the factory repair procedure for the exact engine and installed particulate-filter assembly. Allow the exhaust to cool and support the assembly as specified before disturbing its mounting hardware.
Identify the correct bracket and adjusting element before removal. Observe the left-hand thread direction, inspect the mating threads and avoid forcing an incorrect screw into the bracket. Use the specified sequence and adjustment procedure to establish the correct mounting position.
Follow the vehicle repair information for tightening specifications and any required replacement of neighboring fasteners. Do not use a generic torque value or assume that the adjusting screw is interchangeable with the rear mounting element.
After service, verify correct bracket seating, clearance and secure mounting using the factory procedure. This part contains no exhaust treatment fluid and does not include a particulate-filter assembly or any chemicals.
