Default Mystery bolt, does anyone know where this may have come from? .....
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/70685/mysterybolt.jpg"></center><p>This morning I noticed this bolt sticking out from underneath the rear bumper valance. I yanked it out and it looks pretty serious. It is about 6 1/2" in length. There are no rattling noises. The mufflers look like they are solidly in place. The bolt does have a lot of grime on it. The car recently had its MAS O2 sensors and fuel vacuum lines replaced. I will appreciate your feedback.

Default I'm confident in saying that did not come off of your car, it may have been put there...
by a tech or something, but I've never seen a piece like that on any Audi ever.

Looks like a possible adjuster for the PS, Alt or A/C off of a GM, Ford or similar.

Default Re:2ND that little studded thread wasnt welded like that by audi, seems like a custom tool the shop
left somewhere in there, still it may have been in a place where something else should be in.
