Hole in front "Wheel Guard" Golf GTI

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.
Not bad idea to secure it with duct tape

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....

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.

See post #15 in this thread.

Had to replace one as well - also read a suggestion that apart from duct tape you can also use a (black!) cable tie to secure the new one onto the guard liner, though will need to add a small hole/knife cut in both to loop the tie through.

Hi all just a quick question under my front wheel guard arches on my GTI there is an access point to change the globes for the fog/driving lights, I assume these are suppose to have covers so that no water gets flicked up by the wheels when it rains etc. am I right?? Mine there I just a hole and no covers?


thanks all for your help😀
