Our Volkswagens are full of screws, bolts, nuts and washers that are not all made for a particular model, but are universally used. These parts can be identified by the part number beginning with the "N" of Normteile or by the standard parts. You'd think these standard parts would be available at any DIY store, but Volkswagen hasn't made it that easy. These may be standard mass-produced parts for various applications, but most of them are not common and therefore cannot be found on the shelves of the construction market. It may be a standard part, but that does not mean that it is still available free of charge today, because many parts in our range with VW numbers starting with the "N" are manufactured specially by us or for us.
The galvanized washers listed here have an outer diameter of 12 mm, an inner diameter of 4.3 mm and a thickness of 1 mm. You will find below, per VW model, where it has been used and the total number of parts required if you wish to replace all of them. Delivered by 10 pieces.
