Caddy Maxi, Front Bumper removal guide
Hi all
Well today i have changed the front bumper on my van as the old one was damaged quite badly, so i thought i would take a few pictures showing the
bolt locations for anyone who may find it useful in the future,
First off 3 torx screws inner wheel arch same on both sides
Then there are these little clip things, very sneaky these ones, also note in large red circle closed position of slider,
Then you have these two Torx bolts, and spring clips shown below
Next we have a collection of 8 Torx Screws along the underside of the bumper circled in red, and for those with it fitted circled in yellow i am guessing on is the outside temp sensor and its mounting position
temp sensor mounted
Once you have removed all of the above a nice pull forward on the bumper it should release away from the Van
Upon refitting i found it to be a lot easier to slide out the previous mentioned locks then applying a inward pressureC on bumper side to push in towards the wing then slide the locks shut
Closed
Opened
Same on both sides then it is just a case of refitting all the torx screws, bolts and clips back on and there you have it a fully fitted front bumper
Thanks for reading the post and hopefully it helps people out,
( admin (DOC) sorry if this is in the wrong place but i do not have have access to the how too section, please feel free to move if required,

Re: Caddy Maxi, Front Bumper removal guide
Does the bumper have to be removed to take out a headlight?
