Replacing A4 B8.5 rear bumper

[KudoWarrior]

Looking to get a new rear bumper through the parts guy on AS as repairing my current one would be too much.
Does anyone have a guide/video to replacing/removing the b8.5 bumper?

Did a few searches and couldn't find one myself...

Cheers!

This is for an Avant, cant see the saloon being much different.

Removing Bumper

Remove boot floor.

Remove boot sides, disconnect 12v socket from right side.

Remove tie down hooks, pull up long side covers to reveal towbar mounting points.

Remove mud flaps if fitted.

Unscrew large plastic extended screw and remove light cluster each side.

Remove the grommets in panel in boot below light cluster to reveal 1 nut each side, remove nut taking care not to drop it inside.

Remove 3 fixings around wheel arch, 3 fixings on lower edge and one plastic pin hidden behind light cluster.

Unplug reversing sensor wire in right side compartment, it passes through a hole to bumper.

Pull bumper sides outwards from wheelarch and remove bumper, feed sensor wire out of hole.

Thanks mate. Will give it a try when I get the bumper.

You will have the advantage of having the new bumper to look at the fixing points.
