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, which means "standard parts".
But just because they're standard parts doesn't mean they're still readily available today.
Always install the correct fasteners prescribed by Volkswagen, and you'll never be surprised.
