thanks Mirsad - will check it out....
ok - seems like mine have fallen off too. Think the duct tape idea might be a good one. In terms of replacing those pads - anyone know how much they are? I'm guessing its a warranty job - bits shouldn't fall off really should they?
As I said, in my case it was warranty job (2 guards) – free of charge.Quote:

OK - tried a nearby VW dealer (mine is an hour away) and they didn't want to give me the covers on warranty, so I ended up buying them from their spare parts division. $8 each, probably cheaper than the petrol/wear and tear to drive to my actual dealer.
Apparently the covers have been redesigned so they don't fall off as much, but i secured mine with some black duct tape anyway.
I'm guessing even with all of VW's testing they didn't account for the bone jarring condition of aussie roads, probably the cause of the damn things falling out.
thanks for all your help guys....
I had the same problem with both fog light access covers missing at 15,000km service. Dealer said they must have been stolen... Which I questioned but he stayed very firm on. Was quoted $86 each cover to replace but they weren't in stock. I declined at this price.
Anyone have the part number?
I might go back again and say since there are quite a few it is a warranty issue. Wish me luck.

Actually based on more googling I suspect they quoted me on full new wheel arches.. (imbeciles).
The access cover parts number are
5K0 805 414 A (Right)
5K0 805 413 A (Left)
And popular opinion confirms they are around $5 - 6
This sounds reasonable
mine drivers side dropped..noticed the other day :mad:
Yeah - I had mine drop of at some point during I don't know when...
But just told the service guys about it and replaced for $10 each. Just drive down to the dealership (if your next service isn't for a while), simple 2 second job.
Mine came loose the other time when I checked, had to pop it back in place. Maybe I should secure it with some duct tape too...
i will go tomorrow see if they charge me i guess my bank wont break for $10, however someone was saying they are now revised and wont drop off so easily? reason i am asking this is should i then change the other one that is still in its place or just leave it...
What's the part number of a cover plate in the front wheel arch which gives you access to the front fog lights on a 2010 GTi? Just noticed that it must have popped out today.
