Ok, so I've been reading everywhere about service positions for the bumper and radiator and I'm a little confused.

Are there 2 service positions for the front bumper? One where the bumper and radiator swing out of the way, and one where everything moves forward a few inches?

Does anyone have any links to write-ups about how to do both, if there are 2 positions?

I might end up having to get at my belt tensioner soon.

Thanks,

You best bet is to buy a Bently manual and a VAG-COM, easily the 2 most important tools. Find em at www.ross-tech.com

 

I have VAG-Com but fail to see how that relates here.

Anyone with a link to a good write-up on putting the radiator/bumper into service position?

 

I usually use the service position that pulls out a few inches. you take the bolts that are in the Grille inserts 6-8mm allens? and I take those and put one in each side of the bumper shock holes and it allows you to slide the radiator/lights and all that a good 4 inches or more forward.

 

Very nice avatar man.

 

Sorry I can't help you here all the positions I can think of involve the back seat and girls...sometimes the front seat.
