RS2 wing nuts?

[lkallas]

Thank you very much!
Good old youtube had even some videos of applying these nuts.

you need a special tool to "pull" the threaded interior, to compress the outside, so it will clamp itself. You could simulate this with a bolt and nut, and then screw the bolt + nut into the RIVKLE nut. Then turn the nut loose from the bolt, so you start compressing the RIVKLE nut. It takes a lot of force but can be done (albeit not to the full compression).

For those interested in the supplier and principle: http://www.boellhoff.de/en/de/fasten...ogy/rivkle.php

hope this helped.

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering how are those nuts rivetted to the wing?
Some special tool needed or can it be rivetted without any special tool? Some help please understanding how these nuts work.

I win!

My riveted nuts arrived today at the local dealer so I ran down to pick them up. They are everything that I had hoped.

I snapped a few shots of them for all to see.

The nuts themselves.



I placed one on the wing/fender for a test fit. This picture is from the outer side facing the tyre. The grey thing on the right is the unpainted bumper. From this angle you can see the hole on the bumper that the bolt goes through.



This is from the inner side of the wing lip (this is normally concealed by the liner). A perfect fit.

Cost here is equivalent to 0.60p each, so like you I think I can take the huge financial risk and order them.

I wonder if mine arrive faster from Singapore than yours do!

The race is on!

I've ordered four which are due to arrive early next week. I'll post pictures once I have these in hand along with pics of them mounted in the new wing.

for the archives and searchability(new word)............

However - I have located two possible alternatives from the Audi parts bin

046 145 786 C - used as pressure point on I5 TDI engine (A6Q-96-1-29 item 20) and appears that it is threaded into the intercooler for connection of a hose.

034 145 779 D - might be too big as this is the 8mm nipple take-off point on our turbo housings where the hose to WGFV attaches

Neither are expensive so takes your pick unless some other alternative presents itself.

Next mystery to tackle is the vacuum fitting on the front of the inlet manifold. Mine is broken and I can't find a part number for this anywhere!

From memory, those vac/boost nipple fittings on the IM are not available as separate parts from Audi. I would think that a local machine shop or hot-rod joint should have something you can use - though it may need to be threaded nice and airtight into the IM.

i was told from audi dealers that some part numbers are becoming absolete due to the fact that their production seizes.I found that with some RS2 parts the hard way...

I know that some items periodically go unavailable due to changes in suppliers also.

I ordered a sport quattro exhaust manifold once that took six months to arrive. Audi ran another batch and I got my manifold.

Hi

Please let me know once you actually order these as to whether or not they turn out to be correct?

Was there a problem in just buying the parts from another source, as we discussed several weeks ago?

I could not find a M6 riveted nut that was the correct size. I spoke with a bunch of vendors in attempt to locate the correct nut, end ended up empty handed. I knew Audi had to sell the correct one so I just kept digging until I figured it out.

Last night I took measurements of the riveted nuts that were still attached to my old wings and found that they are the same size as the riveted nuts used in the black bracket to which the headlights attach.

Luckily there is a listing for these in the "fiche" I did find one interesting glitch with regards to the number however.....in ETKA, the North American market number differs from the European number. When I rang the dealer I was told that the "euro" number" N 902 521 01 had been superceded by the N 902 521 04 number. Below is the correct part number which can be found on illustration 805-00; position 18A. Lucky for me it's a valid number here in the US.
