Common Applications
This is a general-purpose mounting fastener used extensively across a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles (including 1.8L, 2.0L, and 3.0L engines).
Cooling System: Securing the engine water pump, water pump outlet pipe, coolant flange, thermostat housing flange, or radiator coolant hose brackets.
Engine Hardware: Securing the PCV system / oil separator, upper engine cover, or oil pump chain tensioner.
Exhaust & Turbo: Mounting turbocharger boost pressure safety switches, cut-off valves, and catalytic converter heat shields.
Sensors: Mounting the cruise control distance sensor (radar unit) or various HVAC control valves and solenoids.
Note: Depending on the specific component it is being removed from, this hardware can sometimes be designated as a "torque-to-yield" (stretch) bolt, meaning it is recommended to replace it with a new one rather than reusing it during reassembly.
