[2ny]

Does someone know how to remove the front bumper of an RS4 B5?

[Virdee Autos]

Remove 3 Torx bolts on either arch liner.

Remove 2 alan bolts holding the bumper to the wing on each side

Remove engine belly pan, or if you don't have access to a ramp, then just unscrew the 3/4 screws holding the belly pan to the bumper

Remove front fog lamp grilles. Undo 6mm(?) alan bolts holding bumper to the bumper shocks/reinforcement.

Disconnect fog lamp wiring, and headlamp washer hose.

I think thats about it!

What else is involed to get the front end in the service position?

Not much, just unbolt the bumber supports and the bolts that hold the radiator frame in place.

Then you can pull the frame forward. You can use the long bumper bolts in the bumper supports bolt place to hold the frame up.
