David

As I noted in a previous post regarding Air Conditioning parts, it pays to
keep handy the old Parts Fiche collection for reference.

Reference Normteile Fiche dated 1988 (can look up by alpha name or "N"
numerical:

N0101883  M12x1.5x120, Grade 10.9, DIN 960

BUT

It is no longer carried in North America by the VW Dealers.  It no longer
shows up in ETKA.

And no, there has never been any rhyme or reason to VW Standard Parts
Numbering for fasteners that I've been able to decipher in the past 30
years.  They just assign whatever "N" number they want wherever they want.
