Hi
just changed my wheels at the weekend and i noticed the splash guard covering the belts, drivers side is hanging on by one clip. There seems to be two studs which i presumed had nuts on before.
Anyone got any idea what size nuts i need, i need to fix this before it ends up on the side of the road.
cheers

They are held on with "clamping washers"
You can get them from VW for a few pence.

Cheers kells
I will give that a go.
After that I need to sort out the rattle.
I have been told it's either heat shield or new cat.

I've not had a problem with them, I suppose it depends what condition they are in. My undertray gets taken off at least once a month and its held on with the original clamping washers.
The rest off the car is held together with tie wraps though. :laugh:

my guards came off; one on the M4 and one arround town. Hell'va bang on the M4!
Poxy things - the "washers" really, though in a difficult environment. My posts have rusted a bit and there you go.

So are the studs plain or threaded, just wondered if i could get some nuts on there.
Problem is, my local main stealers is about a 30 mile round trip.
