Just wondered if anyone else with a mk6 GTI has noticed the holes in the front wheel arches.
They are obviously manufacturer holes but I was wondering if they should be covered with a bing or cap.
The holes arent present on standard golf mk 6 models. I am guessing it is because of the fog light layout on the gti and gtd models.
If anyone has a mk6 gti and can have a little look at the front wheel arches (inside the wheel arch behind the foglights) then please let me know if yours are left open or covered.
I dont expect VW to just leaves holes in the car but I also dont expect them to forget to put bits on.

Quite a common problem.
The fog lamp rear covers/inserts are missing.
Get your dealer to put them on for you.
I had one missing from new and the dealer sorted it, quite a few others on here have reported one or both missing.
-
Can you take a pic of this ?

You really can't miss it if you look under the front wheel arches behind the fog lights. There should be a plastic/rubber cover approx 10 x 15cm under each wheel arch.
See previous threads.

Bet you've already looked. If they are missing you may need new fog lamps in the not too distant future.
By the way Kevin, please don't be be such an idiot all the time.
I was trying to be helpful, certainly won't be bothering with you again.

Thanks guys. I'll be having a wee word with my dealer.
Went in to see them on Wed and the 'Service Manager' told me that they were supposed to be open. I figured this was wrong.
I also had thought about if this would accelerate the wear or damage of the fog lights so figured I needed an answer.
Thanks again for the help

Maybe this will help.

Very helpful pic, ta muchly.
I knew about this problem before I picked my car up, but I was so excited and thrilled on the day that I didn't check a damn thing! I'd have spotted if it had only had three wheels, but that's about it. I've been meaning to check that point ever since.
Yesterday I just happened to park in the village with the front wheels turned sharply to the right. The sun was behind the car, and thanks to that picture is was easy for me to see both covers were in place, exactly as they should be. Which was quite a relief, as I wouldn't care to have been driving all winter without them.
Penguin, have you had any joy from that dozy dealer yet?

Did you not learn your lesson last time you tried to be a wideo with me ?

For those that are interested, I had one side where the cover disappeared three times so eventually it went in for the plastic bit of the arch where the cap fits to be replaced. Seems to have sorted it but just seen a mates GTI and his covers seem to have been fixed into place with some big screws so maybe veedub know they are falling out and have issued a fix?

Erm no, It was more the fact you said you had many friends PM'ing you about me and that your best mate was JV so I had better be careful. Yes and also the fact you wouldnt come to Glasgow to meet me. It's also easy to laugh behind a computer. You PM me your address and I'll be at your door next time I'm down in London.

oh im so breaking a sweat now kev.
Sorry have no passport to go to glasgow.
and im know where near london fella. :laugh:
