Front fog light inspection clip in covers
« on: 31 July 2009, 15:35 »
When you pick up your cars check that under the front wheel arches there is a round plastic clip in inspection cover for the fog lights,mine had one missing,went to dealer and he gave me a new one while i was there we cheked all the cars in the showroom with front fog lights and all of them had at least one cover missing. :wink:

You will see it easy enough,turn the wheels,look at the black plastic wheel arches and you will see a round cover about the size of a tea plate behind where the fog lights are.if its missing you will see the electric connections for the lights,check both sides.

about the size of a tea plate

Good grief! I can see why that would let water in. Thanks for the tip :)

I think you would be o.k for a while as it looks pretty waterproof but there is supposed to be a cover so it needs one,just thought i`d give you all the heads up as i imagine it will be a common problem judging by the fact that all the cars with foglights(front) in the showroom had at least one missing.
