Our Volkswagens are full of screws, bolts, nuts and washers, not all manufactured for a particular model, but used universally. These parts can be identified by their reference number starting with the "N" of the German word "Normteile", meaning "standard parts".
It may be a standard part, but that doesn't mean you'll find it in every DIY store, and if you do, it must correspond 100% to the original part, with a tensile strength of 10.9 that you won't easily find in DIY stores.
The bolts listed here meet Volkswagen specifications in every respect and are listed below for each VW model for which they are used and how many parts are needed in total. The "X" is not clear, as the number differs from version to version.
