What bolt is this?

When I removed the front undertray to replace the radiator in the LE (NA6), this fell out...

Anyone know what it is/where it's from?

Dimensions are 55mm long, shaft is 12mm in diameter, head is 22mm in diameter with a 5mm hole though it.

Nope, but I'm curious to find out!

Going to take a wild stab in the dark at this......

It looks like the A/C Tensioner bolt/axle for the pulley. (that 5mm hole should have a thread in it for the long tensioner bolt ) if memory serves me right. :mrgreen:

Probably fell off an Alfa. Stops rear doors from falling off when opening drivers side window.

That would account for what happened to my Sud Sprint.
