lower grill

Recommended Posts

hey all, my 91 g60 was up on the ramp today getting tracked, and i noticed a big hole in the front lower grill, i've found one, but it says it's designed for the vr6 part number 535853671J

 

any chance that could fit mine?

The early and late front bumpers are slightly different but I'd be really surprised if the lower grille is different too? I'll fire up the parts catalogue and have a look..

Hm - seems to confirm it...

 

535 853 671E for earlier cars..

535 853 671J for later cars..

 

You're going to need the E suffix one. Listed as costing approximately £50 on ETKA if you fancy trying your luck at the local VW dealers! :)

Forgive me if im wrong but as far as Im aware the only difference between the two is that the G60 grill has a few more holes in it to allow extra air flow through and up towards the charger to aid cooling. I have the VR6 grill on my G60 and I simply cut these extra holes out myself. Its very straightforward.

 

Someone with more knowledge can confirm or deny this.

Indeed - it might well just be a visual thing rather than a fitment issue but ETKA says that the 'E' part is for 16V and G60, and the J part for 16V and VR6. Which would sort of moot the additional holes for cooling thing.

Well I just assummed it was for extra cooling as logically thats what vent holes are for. Im sure theres a thread on this already. I vaguely remember reading about it when I first discovered this site. Im afraid I dont care enough to go searching for it now. ;-)
