Front bumper ETKA question
« on: 21 June 2014, 16:35 »
Can someone with access to ETKA or other VW parts references help answer a question for me please?

Do all Bluemotion Golf's have headlight washers? I've looked at loads on Auto Trader and they all seem to have them. Due to a coming together with an out of control old lady in a Nissan Pixsomethingorother this morning, my GT is in need of a new front bumper. Fortunately nothing noticeable unless you know where to look, but it is bent out of shape and needs replacing all the same. I saw this as an opportunity to have a Bluemotion bumper fitted instead, but they all seem to have headlight washers, which mine doesn't. I don't fancy having pretend ones like halogen equipped GTI/D's have, so was hoping that they also did them without.

The reg number of a Bluemotion for reference is FG10 VVU
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I think crashed is a bit dramatic in this instance.

Spoilsport!  'Course there is an alternative interpretation -  but that would be crude and I'm a lady.  How old did you say she was??   :laugh:

As far as I know all the bumpers have the cutouts whether there are washers fitted or not.

I'll ask you again, what has a winter pack got to do with anything?

If you can tell me that all MK6 Golf Bluemotions come with a winter pack, therefore washers, that will be of some use, as I'll know that I can't buy a Bluemotion front bumper without washer holes in it. The fact that your GTD has halogen headlights and a winter pack has no relevance to my question. Or am I missing something?
