9 years later and still super useful. I plan to remove both fenders this summer to repaint them. This was immensely helpful. Thank you kindly!
You give me the confidence to tackle jobs that I would normally shy away from. Thank you.
Hey man cheers from the US! I've been rehabing my 2004 R32 bit by bit. For a newbie but motivated fellow, your vids are hands down the best thing on YT. It seems like I am a little late to the game and you're not posting much ATM, but I want to send you my sincere thanks for sharing you knowledge with us. You're making the internet a better place, my friend :) Take care
Hi mate I just came to drop a comment to say thanks for putting up the video, it helped a lot I did this today on my mk5 and this tutorial helped a lot with what needed to be done. It took me 4hrs but I got there in the end! saved me £100
Excellent, glad it helped
Brilliant guides. Very well explained and demonstrated used both this and the front bumper one to change my own. Saved me money thank you!
awesome, one of the most concise dudes explaining how to VW things, thanks
Honestly your videos are the best, clear concise and to the point no mucking around like when them American videos! Keep posting mate!
I know a lot about the MK3 and MK2 scene/platform, but I'm parting out a mk4 right now and your videos are a lot of help because they're kinda different . Thanks!
That is good to hear, have you subscribed to the channel??
I'll tell you whats great! You can order panels now already painted and ready to go. Autobody wanted $1700 to fix both sides. I ordered delivered $500 for both!. Easy to install thanks to this fine lad.
Thank you very much for putting this together. Combined with the front bumper removal video, I was able to fix my Golf IV. Cheers!
Thanks for the support, I really appreciate that.
Helps ALOT! I'll save a few hundred dollars doing this simple labor replacement. Love the brit accent as well. CHEERS!
Bmac vags, you've helped me through pretty much all my mk4 golf problems, bodywork, electrical even the dredded window mechanisms, just want to thank you for your videos, they have got me out of some tight situations.
Thanks brother
Thank you for the tips! Gonna swap my R32 Fenders this weekend!
BMAC Your a legend thank you so much for the simple step by step videos these help so much!
Thanks so much for the help! Replaced my rusted out fenders (dirt accumulated near the junction with the rocker panels) with some nice, un-rusted junkyard fenders.
Excellent videos - just used them to remove the bumper and replace both wings on my stepson's Golf
Excellent
thanks for the video. I just bought a 2003 mk4 golf which has front fender damage. Super easy. great job!
Hey bro, just got into an accident today and got some fender damage on my mk4 jetta, how was the process and did you get a brand new fender or did you do some body work and fix it?
Thanks, M8!
On my 2003 Golf GL, they undercoated the rear most bolt on the fender, so you could not see it. Chiseled it off to access the bolt head. There was a ratsnest of debris, sand, dirt & vegetation crammed in the same area leading into the door rocker panel area! I assume that's why they coat that bolt head. No rust though! (JHendy on YT had a Michigan salt damaged car that had rusted out fenders at this corner.) Don't misplace any of the plastic & metal anchor nuts that may remove with the plastic fenderliner. It was easier to put on the new fender. The Golf liner does not need about 20cm of the leading end which is needed on the Jetta. It is shown @ 2:10. Just trim off that end of the new one using the old one as a template with snips, heavy scissors, or a soldering gun blade. Easy enough one hour job at most not including painting. 😊
awesome video. nice simple and to the point with no gumpf that confuses!
how bloody great are your vids easy to follow top bloke : ) thanyou
Glad they helped pal

hi bmac i have vw jetta 4 do you know how i can tighten the throttle cable
Dude your videos are always so easy to follow!! Keep doing what you do!
Thank you so very much for the video! I have a damaged passenger fender and this will save me a boatload of money :-)
Thank you for the video very helpful! Planning to replace my mk4 front quarter panels bc they are rusted
Just what I needed. Thank Bmac
Love this channel saved me some serious time
You only need one tool a 10mm
…and a T25
….and a socket to take the wheel off 😂
Great video! Very much appreciate you making this 👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Thank you for your support
Great, nice straight forward video, nice one mate, nice to watch a video without all the silly bullshit. :-)
Very helpful, I was just hit by a deer and have to replace my driver's fender and mirror.
Still helping 8 years after posting!!
Highly informative. Thank you for making these videos.
Thanks for the help! Great simple quick videos!
Thank you for watching the video
Nice clean job there!
Where does that fender blinker wire enter into the engine? I want to tap into that wire without taking the fender off. Can it be accessed in the engine bay? Thanks
Appreciate your video. Thank you! Just curious--what year is the Jetta?
Hi, thank you so much for your excellent videos.. I have this question: is removing the front wing on a passat similarly easy, or is it a much trickier job?
I m learning everything form u
Top simple vid majority of things i done to my MK4 worked from your vids, but with this one i tried i just couldnt get the bolts to turn at all, the paint around them just wont break, any advice
Good job buddy, but to take off the whole door itself do I need to remove the fender to get to a bolt on the outer door hinge?
It is really tough to diagnose a car without seeing it. However I would advise to just look and the simple possibilities, dirty connectors, split wires leaks etc and continue what you are doing.
Dope vid i liked the set up and voice over. Anyway.. how many total 10mm and t25 altogether? Just curious i dont want to pull too early and damage plastic or fender. Especially the wheel well area and the 10mm in. there. Seemed like maybe 4 or so 10mm were under the plastic shroud.
My bro is getting a tdi back together and running better to use as a daily its green and junkyard has same tdi same color, ima see to surprise him cuz his fenders are super rusty. I bet it will be cheap to buy them as well.
Hey BMAC, do you have a video of the removal of passanger side rear quarter panel... I'm talking the whole panel. I have bad damage over rear arch and thinking to replace the whole side panel. My car is 4 door BTW.
I heard it needs cutting out 🤔🤔
Awsome mate helped in a big way as always
So, on Golf Mk3 I also have to remove the bumper ? Hope not, because I m screw et up.I M half way to change the wing. Thank you for the video.
Hi very well explained but I have one question, does the fender have any factory sealant?
When you remove the fender is there any sealant where it meets the engine bay? Also, is it recommended to apply sealer when installing new fenders?
Thanks
uploading some real decent footage here man, cheers for the help!
Really good Info....Thanks for posting !
Glad it was helpful!
Good clear video, Hopefully this will go the same way for me tomorrow!
As I have a VW your video are top notch for when I in a "How the f@#k do I take that off. Excellent work Brother.
Awesome Video, really detailled with great tips. I have a MK5 Golf, is it basically the same to swap out he rusty wings?
EXACTLY what I needed to know... thanks, man.
Excellent
Gangster video man. Thanks
How did it go with the wing removal.
thanks for these help videos. keep up the good work!
Quick note if your're looking at changing the wing on a Lupo/Arosa: The process is essentially the same but the rear of the wings curve under the sill. There's two cross-head screws on the bottom sill edge that have been painted over and are a real pain to remove with usual hand tools.
There's also one concealed in the door jam behind the mirror.
thanks bro! this saved my day!
you da man BMAC! ! thanks for the great videos :)
Super clear man awsome video...
Is the wing glued on aswell as bolted and would a special tool be needed to remove this glue?
Thanks! Very clearly explained
Thanks, easy to follow
Brilliant guide, thank you :-))
dude! your vids are top! very useful. nice1
thank you this was very helpful
Thank You
Cheers, for the good video.
I've just upgraded my golf with factory xenon headlights and had to remove the upper screw of the fender on the A-pillar to mount the xenon control-unit there, but I can't tighten it up the right way anymore. And now my fender makes some creaking noises sometimes. I think the thread were the screw goes in is worn out. What can I do now? Put in a bigger self-tapping screw? That creaking noise drives me crazy :D haha
I am not sure exactly what you mean. Can you make a short video of your problem
BMAC VAGS Sadly I got no camera at the moment. I mean one of the two screws which are covered in underseal and paint. The one on the top doesn't tighten up anymore
Cheers mate. Spot on that is!
I saw the length and thought this is my sort of video. Makes a change from a 20 minute american video explaining what he did that morning haha
Hey since i did this myself with no experience, this is what i learned that isnt in videos. When you remove the old wing, take off the clips and put on new one. When you put the mud guard thing back start from the back (inner) screws first. Dont need to take wheel off just turn the wheel. When you screw in the wing make a gap by the door same size as passenger door, otherwise it will crush and squeek when you open the door up. Knowing these steps id rate difficulty as easy, for non-mechanic savvy people
Hahahahaha
I know this is off subject but I watch all of yr videos and u seem like u know a lot about golfs. I have a 02 gti 1.8t and I've got evap codes anf o2 codes and maf code. I replaced all of the parts and noticed I have no power to the n80 valve or the evap leak pump next to the gas cap. All run off the blue wire with a yellow strip. I have no power at either plug with car on or running. Any idea of what this is caused by? I can't get it inspected till I get it fixed. Thanks!
Good vid thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
of course it will
Thank you Jon, I hope you have subscribed
Great video
Thank you
thanks alot great video :)
nice one, thanks for posting.
thanks man very good video
Bmac...is it the same procedure for a jetta 2000?
do you have a video on how to replace the window washer pipes on the front mine is leaking somewhere and can't find it thanks
im assuming this procedure is almost the exact same for a mk3 golf ?
Thanks. Nice videos :)
Awesome.. cheers 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the video :)
Thank you for watching
great thank you
good video
Will this work on a 07 jetta wolfsburg edition?
Bumper as well?
What to do if screws are stuck (torx?
Get some pentrating lubricant at WalMart, Harbor Freight, or your local autoparts store. It's $2 to $5 per can. Spray each bolt thoroughly, let start for an hour, then remove your bolts. 🔩 😜
.
@@lupusdeum3894rap them with a hammer with the tork socket on it b4 you try to take it off. Makes a big difference.
thanks
is it the same way to remove a polo 2003 front wing?
Is the same method used for a 2010 jetta S?
Well I've tried everything so it all boiled down to just ripping out the whole evap canister and caping it all off and still no power to anything but some how my lights and codes went away. No idea how but it worked
nice video
Thank You
Do you know if the fenders are the same for the 1.8T and the VR6 GTIs?
Yes they are
Glad i could help, have you subscribed to the channel??
Hi i was wondering can u remove the rear fender to?
The one with fuel lock on.
It is not a bolt off part
By any chance do you know if this is the same for a VW polo 2003 3 door as i need to do a wing and bonnet change. Thanks if you reply!
yes it is the same
+BMAC VAGS I love your vids bro I'm struggling with a skoda superb wing mk1 at the bottom I can't get it off its original wing iv been told to heat it up
Should have watched this before i broke my bumper clip 😂🤦🏻♂️
very helpfull, thx :-)
Is it the same process for a polo
