Will take a photo when I get time, but where the standard intake fits into the front grill part, there are 2 screws that hold it in place. Mine are gone and I need some new ones as it keeps falling apart, can anyone recommend where I can get the right screws for the job? Cheers

Personally I just get them off ebay for a couple quid, does the job. Just type "vw torx screws" in there and tons show up.

They are a small head, short T20 bolt

Be careful when you screw them in and don't overtighten them because you'll strip the hole...ask me how I know.

Nothing a couple of new 'speed clips', as VW call them, can't sort :happy2:
That front snorkel arrangement is quite a clever bit of kit. I cringe when I see aftermarket intakes solidly mounted to the front grille with no means of dropping water out of the air stream :doh:

Sorry for bumping into an old conversation. Losing screws can be frustrating. It's always a good idea to replace them to keep things secure. You can try checking out your local hardware store or even online retailers for the right screws.
