Dashboard / Console Mounting Bracket Left – 4K1857245

Original mounting bracket / dashboard and cockpit support bracket left (stabilizing frame for the front console on the driver's side / dashboard frame mounting at the A-pillar and upper windshield), designed for Audi A7 Sportback, S7 and RS7 (4K / 4K8 generation) and Audi A6 C8 (type 4K2 / 4K5 / 4KA) produced from model year 2018 to 2026, including versions with 3.0 V6 TFSI (55 TFSI), 2.0 TFSI, TDI engines and top-tier S and RS models, based on the modular longitudinal platform MLBevo.

Factory structural and load-bearing interior component of the VAG group. Made of rigid, hardened engineering plastic / technical alloy with high resistance to material fatigue, dynamic stress, and vibrations transmitted from the bodywork. Mounted in the cockpit load-bearing zone on the left side, connecting the dashboard trim and frame to the main transverse body beam under the upper windshield. It ensures precise alignment of the cockpit gaps with the A-pillar, light switch area and center console, eliminates unwanted mounting play, and prevents the formation of rattles and dashboard resonance during driving on uneven surfaces.

Fitment guarantee and VIN verification

Each bracket undergoes a mounting surface geometry check for cracks and thorough cleaning before shipping.

Fitment / installation tip: The initial designation 4K1 (group 857) clearly confirms the component's suitability for left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles. Correct installation of this left bracket is crucial when replacing a dashboard after airbag deployment or cockpit removal – it ensures stable mounting of the instrument cluster (Audi Virtual Cockpit), air vent grilles, and perfect alignment with the driver's door trim. Before purchase, we recommend comparing the OE number stamped on the part body or verifying it using the vehicle's VIN.
