Martin Logan M I went out to the car this morning to discover the front covered in small pieces of rock salt that I obviously picked up during the previous days journey. I managed to remove most of it without scratching the paintwork but when cleaning the grille noticed that it had got into the space behind the grille in front of the slats for the adjustable intake. I dont want to blast the Karcher in there so wondered how easy it is to take the grille out. Looking at the way the front is put together I suspect it requires removing the bumper but would be grateful if anybody who knows could confirm this? #1 · Mar 5, 2016 I went out to the car this morning to discover the front covered in small pieces of rock salt that I obviously picked up during the previous days journey.

Here are the instructions for retrofitting park assist, it includes what you have to do to remove the bumper: http://accessories.volvocars.com/en...stallationInstruction/Document/VCC-442942-3/2013/all/all/default/V40 (13-) 2013 #3 · Mar 5, 2016 Thought so! Thanks for confirming. I may try and blow it out with an airline instead. Insert Quotes Post Reply
