Hi all, I'm trying to get at the lower radiator hose in my 2016 Octavia. I've looked on google and found that I should remove the seven t25 screws. 5 on the bumper splash shield and one on each side connected to the fender. The shield seems loose, but it won't come off and I don't want to try and pry it too much as I'm concerned that I'll crack it. Can someone tell me what additional screws, or maybe clips, need to be removed to get this off?

many thanks for all info

Hi and welcome to Briskoda.

I've moved your topic to the Octavia MkIII section where more owners will see it and hopefully give you some advice or assistance.

There are 3 T40 bolts that need removing which bolt into the subframe, these are located roughly around the firewall, you will probably need a flat head to get the shield to slide out

Thank you Lee01 for moving me to the correct forum.

Also, I made a sight mistake, the car is a 2015, not a 2016.

CianKT, thank you. My knowledge is inadequate, I thought that the firewall was behind the engine. Your help is appreciated.
