Video tutorial

This video demonstrates how to remove the front grille of a Volkswagen Golf GTI to check the front sensors; the front assist on this vehicle has stopped working and has been temporarily disabled. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, as you will be working with electrical connectors.

Next, remove the grille, which is secured with two bolts at the top on each side, while the bottom is held in place with clips, so pull it away gently. The electrical connector for the front assist sensor is located just behind the Volkswagen emblem.

To reattach the grille, reverse the process: first, attach the clips, then replace the bolts.
