Removing the Front Bumper of a Jetta

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Front bumper

Is the bumper of your Volkswagen Jetta damaged? Do you want to replace it? Here’s how. Lift the front bonnet and secure it. Use a socket to unscrew the retaining screws located at the top of the grille. Remove the splash guards (take out the pins located at the bottom of the bumper). Unscrew the side screws between the bumper and the wing. Remove the retaining screws of the under-engine protection. Pull the bumper off the bodywork with your hands; disconnect the power connectors. Fit the new front bumper with all the screws and parts.
