Claim:
A motor vehicle door hinge, comprising a first hinge part configured to be fixed on one of a door and a door pillar of the motor vehicle, a second hinge part configured to be fixed on the other of the door and the door pillar, said second hinge part being arranged in a manner so as to be pivotable with respect to said first hinge part about a hinge axis, a shaft section, and a door arrester unit including a spring unit, a cam disk and a latching disk, wherein said first hinge part and said second hinge part are each designed as U-shaped sheet-metal shaped parts having a base, a first limb and a second limb, said first limb and said second limb being arranged at a right angle with respect to the base, wherein one gudgeon is arranged on each of said first and second limb of said first hinge part and said second hinge part, wherein the first limb of the first hinge part is connected in an articulated manner to the first limb of the second hinge part, wherein said shaft section connects said gudgeon of said second limb of said first hinge part and said gudgeon of said second limb of said second hinge part in an articulated manner, and wherein a retaining force is generated by said spring unit of the door arrester, wherein a preferred retaining position for the hinge is defined by latching markings in said latching disk, in which at least one immovable cam protruding from said cam disk can engage, wherein one of said cam disk and said latching disk is acted upon by said spring unit and is non-rotatably coupled with said shaft section, and the other of said cam disk and said latching disk is connected in a non-rotatable manner to that hinge part of said first hinge part and said second hinge part in which said shaft section is rotatable, and wherein said one disk is disposed on said shaft section via a circumferential guide profile of the shaft section, which permits axial movement and prevents rotational movement between said one disk and the shaft section, wherein said one disk which is coupled with said shaft section has an axial, hollow-shaft-like extension which ensures, on its inside, a connection to said shaft section and the outer side of which is surrounded by said spring unit, and wherein the predominant part of the inner circumference of the hollow-shaft-like extension is formed by a further guide profile which intermeshes with the guide profile of said shaft section.
