Our Volkswagens are full of screws, bolts, nuts and washers that are not all designed for a particular model, but are universally used. These parts are identified by the part number starting with the "N" from the German word Normteile, i. e. the standard parts.
Now, you'd think these standard parts could be found in any hardware store, but Volkswagen didn't make it that easy. These are standard parts that are mass-produced for various applications, but most are not common and are therefore not available on the DIY market.
It may be a standard part, but that doesn't mean it is still readily available today. This is why many parts in our range, whose VW number begins with the "N", are manufactured specially by us or for us.
The bolts listed here have convex countersunk head with Phillips head in size M6 x 10. They have been used in the Volkswagen models listed below, the number required if you were to replace all of them for the application listed is included.
