X4 screws on the lip of the engine bay and perhaps a couple under the rear light clusters (not sure about those) - though I do remember be very careful not to catch the (very) fragile (and very expensive to replace) corners of the rear light clusters.

Most nut's on my previous tt where corroded round and I had to use a rounded nut socket to get them off.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, searched the forum, plenty of good advice, even pics of front bumper removal due to rads etc, but has anyone done a removal of the rear bumper, is it simple process etc ?

POST 2Original post

Even more straight forward than the front if I remember correctly. X4 screws on the lip of the engine bay and perhaps a couple under the rear light clusters (not sure about those) - though I do remember be very careful not to catch the (very) fragile (and very expensive to replace) corners of the rear light clusters. Think that was it have a blanket or somehting to lie it down on, and its a lot easier to lineup when you're putting it back with a helper!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thks guys, just giving myself more access to remove the turbo's and maybe perhaps drop the whole exhaust system for a bit of TLC, bolts, gaskets etc, as the N/S turbo waste gate is broken.

POST 5Original post

watch out for rusted nuts when removing the exhaust, turbo's etc, it gets surprisingly rusty under there. Most nut's on my previous tt where corroded round and I had to use a rounded nut socket to get them off. They were not rusted on just corroded too much to get any purchase with a socket.

POST 6Original post

My nuts had evaporated (ooh-err missus) on my TT when I got it. Hardly surprising when they get this hot:
