Most drivers have no idea how to remove the front bumper of their car. It is believed that this should be entrusted to the master in the service. Meanwhile, situations arise on the road when quick dismantling is simply necessary. About why in the current realities it is critically important to be able to remove an expensive spare part yourself.
Let’s start with the seemingly banal things – replacing the headlight bulbs. In modern cars, this process is extremely complicated, because the engine compartment is tightly packed and you can’t just approach the lighting fixtures.
They burn out most of the time. Rent and xenon in ten years. Moreover, this happens at the most inopportune moment – on a country road, and even in the evening. This is where the bumper removal skill comes in handy .
After all, it is easier to approach the block headlight. And after the bumper is removed, you can quickly change the lamp and hit the road without fear of a dark road. Lost time for repairs will more than pay off. Indeed, when driving with only one headlight, an oncoming driver may think that it is not a car that is driving at him, but a motorcycle.
Take the right is not enough – that’s the accident. What can we say about wild animals, which the “one-eyed” helmsman simply will not notice in the dark.
Thus, it is convenient to change burnt out foglights . By the way, this rarely happens to them, but still. And sometimes the plastic “lens” melts (found in the Citroen DS3), and then the “flashlight” begins to shine dimly. Because of this, in the fog, the driver can be hard to see.
And in winter, having removed the bumper, it is elementary to approach the washer reservoir, in which the liquid has frozen. This will come in handy, again, if trouble happened on the road.
Finally, the skill of dismantling the bumper will make it possible not to overpay for car maintenance. Indeed, in this case, the radiator clogged with fluff and midges can be easily cleaned. Another plus is that when carrying out work on your own, the risk of damage to the “cooler” cells is reduced, which will extend its service life. The intercooler is cleaned in the same way. But the dealer takes a lot of money for such “cleaning”.
