Removing the radiator grill and front bumper trim Volkswagen Passat B6

1. Remove the 8 screws from the top of the radiator frame (marked on the diagram with number 2).

Note:

If you need to get only under the radiator grill itself, then you can remove it. Unscrew the two screws located near the bottom corners of the license plate. Pull the grille towards you, disconnect the terminals of the wires of the parking sensors (shown by arrows in the photo below) and remove from the car. It is not necessary to completely remove the bumper lining; the lining can be removed together with the grille.

2. Unscrew the screws on the bottom of the bumper (marked with 1 on the diagram).

3. Partially free the front wheel arch liners on the left and right. To do this, unscrew the screws at the front bottom of the wheel arch. It is not necessary to remove the wheels for this, it is enough to turn them with the steering wheel for more convenient access.

4. Bend the fender liner and unscrew the screws pointing upwards, on the left and right sides of the car (marked on the diagram with number 3).

5. Unscrew the hex nuts on the fenders on the left and right sides of the car (marked on the diagram with number 4). You need to put your hand under the bent wheel arch liner and reach for them, they are located along the wing closer to the headlight (shown in the photo).

6. With the help of a second person, remove the bumper trim in parallel from the wing receptacles. The cladding must be carefully parallel on both sides to move in the direction of the vehicle.

Note:

If desired, this can be done alone, if you first take off each side of the cladding and pull it off on both sides, and then remove the entire cladding while holding it in front.

7. It is possible to disconnect the existing electrical connections and hoses, but if the bumper trim does not need to be removed far, then you can skip this and carefully place it next to the car.

8. Installation is carried out in reverse order.
