Smile Plastic clips on front bumper P/N 1268176

The round plastic fastners (these are on the top edge under where the front edge of the bonnet closes) are volvo P/N 1268176, you simply press the centre in youll hear a pop noise (the centre drops a few mm) then you can pull the whole round clip out. Good idea to have a spare 1 or 2 although they seem pretty re-useable unlike some cheaper imitations ive seen. Because the centre doesnt fall thru (unless you apply too much force) you dont spend ages hunting around for a plastic bit that pinged off somewhere in the engine bay !

Hi Capt - please forgive an old timer that needs to request a clarification. I own a 2008 S60 - no headlamp washers...is the procedure the same? Since I need to replace my entire front bumper cover I need to ask - once all of the fasteners have been removed, are there any other items actually atached to the bumper cover. For example - the headlight lenses, grille, etc. - or does the cover mount & fit over these items?

Many thanks

Mike

Headlight lenses stay on the car, but the grille is an integral part of the bumper cover - but unclips from it.

Here are a few pictures of 'how to' when I took mine off to replace the intercooler and fit HIDs

I have a 2002 S80 and the front bumper removal is slightly different - see the attached file from VADIS.

On each side, I had an additional plastic/nylon nut and bolt/screw on the bottom corner of the horizontal part of the bumper (just before the wheel arch). Think this was a 10mm nut and the bolt had a slot for flat head screwdriver.
Not a job to be recommended for a bone-chilling December day but all was completed successfully thanks to the useful guide. On my 2001 V70 T5, as per LSVs post, there are two extra bolts on each side of the bumper, at the bottom which fix into the bottom of the wheel arch plastics. Also, I noted that the top lip of the side parts of the bumper fix into slots, which are awkward to undo, especially on a bone-chilling December day

Good news is, all of the radiators look in good condition and I’ve got my fog lights out for a clean.


The hole.


Car looks a bit sad when de-robed.

Thumbs up

Thank you for the information about the bumper. I had an accident on Sunday morning when I hit some black ice and ended up in a hedge. The near side half of the bumper popped off when the tow truck pulled me out. No other damage to the car. I'm going this morning to have a go at putting it back on so thank you for your post. I will update as soon as I get it sorted.

Default Great all sorted.

I followed the instructions to remove the front bumper and it was great. Managed to remove and sort everything out then re-install the bumper with no problems at all. Thank you for posting the information as I know I couldn't have fixed the car without it.

I haver just joined the Forum and appreciated your comment on removing the S60 front bumper. I have just been diagnosed a split intercooler. Quote was £350 fully fitted. Bumper looks straight forward to remove and intercooler should be OK to fit. Just need to find a cheap place to buy one.
Many thanks
Richard
