Help C5 Bumper Removal Guide

Post by jlktiling »

Hello,

All seems to be going well with tank.
Just had to change the crank pulley (and cambelt etc) and the battery so far.

But I had a wee accident Saturday evening , and bumped the front bumper quite hardly.
No visible damage from the outside apart from a little scuff 'ere and there.
But I appear to have made a leak appear.
It looks like its just water, as when it evaporates from the ground there is no residue, or mark left. and its coming from the very left of the bottom grill area.
I think I maybe have cracked the washer bottle (this is located here I think) but I want to have a look.

I don't have a Haynes manual, and I have googled, but cannot seem to find a guide online, So I thought id ask you knowledgeable lot.

Is there a image guide, or an easy way to remove the from bumper on tank? (2002 c5 2.0 hdi)

Thank in advance.

From memory, there's two retaining screws in the front wheel arch liner on both sides and then there's two screws on the underside lip of the bumper that hold the undertray in place. If you take all of these out the bumper simply lifts off, its a two person job to refit though because the part around the headlamp has a habit of pulling away leaving a gap when you re-tighten the screws. New washer bottle is approx £35 from the dealer, they typically go on the seal where they are moulded together, if you go the scrappy route make sure it holds water before parting with your money.
