G60Jet 1 Posted January 7, 2003 Anyone know how to remove the front Bumper off a late face lifted G60. Im trying to get at my intercooler for cleaning and to add a home made cooling aid. but can get the bumper off. I've got the chin spoiler off, and the inter wheel arch covers, but cant find any bolt to undo the bumper. any ideas?? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon TDI 0 Posted January 22, 2003 G60Jet, After you had cleaned the intercooler was there a difference in performance? I'm thinking of cleaning mine out at the weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've not really had chance to drive it yet as i've got the car in the garage off the road for major cleaning, but it was really dirty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon TDI 0 Posted January 22, 2003 OK. I'm going to give it a good clean out this weekend. What did you use to clean it? I've got a can of spray on Gunk that I use on the engine bay every now & again. Will this be sufficient? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will this be sufficient? I used de gunk spray, and washing powder to brake down the oil inside. then dried it all with a hair dry with too ages, and it got very hot!!

G60DEE 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Whatever you do, DO NOT take out the middle bolt! my engine nearly fell on the floor and nearly crushed me!!! I was also following instructions from an article on Jans VW site! load of good he was! If you have an immaculate C, then its also best to have a friend with you, just to make sure you dont scratch anything or drop the bumper! (not me then!) :) :) Also when bolting the I.C back on, it is wise to put stainless bolts on as they get very rusty and are hard to remove the next time it needs to come off.

Jon TDI 0 Posted February 6, 2003 I just covered the the IC bolts with grease to stop corrosion!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan 0 Posted November 26, 2005 I removed my front bumper and had to use a jack because the center screws are missing. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of screws ca I use(M6, M8 or M10.....length, step )... or at least a photo .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted November 27, 2005 erm... I just ordered the bolts for Dinkus but I think these are the 4 outer ones... M10 I think, big feckers - were about a fiver for the 4.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
