How to Replace the Front Grille on a Volkswagen Jetta

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 6, A6 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Grille

Learn how to replace the front grille on a Volkswagen Jetta: first, unscrew the four screws that secure the grille. Then, gently remove the grille, as it is attached at the bottom with plastic clips, and pulling too hard could break them. Now, remove the badge; turn the grille over and, using a small screwdriver, pry it out of its housing; then simply turn it clockwise to remove it. You can find the grille on various e-commerce platforms, with prices starting from £25 for the simpler models and going up from there. Now, place the badge on the new grille, securing it with the three clips; naturally, you will need to turn it counter-clockwise. Insert the clips into their housings and refit the front grille. Finally, reattach the four screws, and the job is complete.
