Remove the front sound insulation held by 10 T30 torx screws/10mm bolts. Undo screws along the bottom of the bumper cover.

Installation Instructions

Relocation Bracket Install

* The first step is to open the bonnet and remove the four screws securing the top of the grille using a Torx bit.![eurowise-T3-Touareg-Intercooler-Relocation-Bracket-FIG-1](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/eurowise-T3-Touareg-Intercooler-Relocation-Bracket-FIG-1.png)

Then gently ease the grill forwards so you can look down and see the plastic clips that run along the bottom of the grille so you can see how they attach; I recommend spraying some silicone down onto the clips to assist in pricing them out.
This photo shows the ends of the clips protruding through the bumper cover. To release them you need to insert a wedge tool under the grille into a tiny slot under each clip, ideally, if you had enough of the wedge tools you could put one in each and the grille would pull out forwards in one go, but practically I don’t so start at one end and pull the end of the grille whilst working your way along one clip at a time until it comes away.
Now remove the four more torx screws along the edge of the bumper cover.
Next, you need to remove the front sound insulation from under the car. This is held in place by 10 T30 torx screws/ 10mm bolts.
Now remove the screws along the bottom of the bumper cover, 3 larger ones across the centre and 3 smaller ones at each side.
Next, remove the factory bracket cut bracket that was mounted there previously with a cutoff wheel or saw. install the new bracket with the provided hardware.
(Some models have bolts here already)
Loosen the upper mounting bolts to the intercooler and then remove the bolts one by one and remove the metal support washers behind the hardware. This will allow for the intercooler to swing forward.
Once brackets are installed using a razor blade cut the flimsy part on the front side of the intercooler shroud off. This will be enough to clear the front bumper.
