Depending on the year of manufacture, the mounting points differ slightly.
Volkswagen T6 (T6.1) Caravelle, Multivan, Transporter.
How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- (T6 2015-2019) under the hood, we pull out four pistons (inserted from top to bottom) that attach the upper part of the radiator grille.
- (T6.1 2019-2024) release the upper part of the radiator grille from the latches (indicated by blue arrows, you just need to pull on yourself), which attach it to the support element.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew two screws on the left and right sides (twisted from bottom to top).
- we turn the wheels into the inner part of the arch.
- (on each side) unscrew the two screws in the wheel arch and pull out one of the pistons that secure the fenders (front part).
- we push the fenders to the side and pull out one piston on each side (inserted from the bottom up), which fix the corners to the guide profiles in the wings.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- now the most difficult part is to release the latches in the upper part of the bumper under the radiator grille (indicated by the arrows). You need to pull the entire bumper up (preferably with an assistant) and jerk it towards you.
- we remove the front bumper forward (we look so as not to break the wires).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical components.
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- we unscrew two screws on each side and remove the taillights (they are held on the retainers in the wings, you need to pull the left lamp to the left side, and the right one to the right).
- under the taillights, pull out two pistons on each side and remove the strut pads (you need to lift the pad up and pull it towards you).
- we pull out three pistons that attach the lower part (inserted from the bottom up).
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew two screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (rear part).
- release the latches in the wings (indicated by blue arrows, pull the corners towards you).
- release the latches under the linings of the racks.
- under the seal in the trunk opening, we release five latches (indicated by blue arrows, you need to release the retainers with a flat screwdriver).
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper back (we look behind the wires).
- disconnect the parking sensor connectors (if any).
