Removing Radiator Cover

Model: Audi A4 B8 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Radiator

Once you open the hood, there is a plastic cover between the grille and the shroud, which protects both the radiator and the electric fan. This cover is secured to the shroud with four Torx screws and then clipped behind the grille with plastic tabs. To remove it, unscrew the four screws, lift the rear edge (toward the cabin), and pull back to release the tabs. During this operation, avoid bending up and down as the tabs may break.
