For a '99, 1.8 - The front most fastening point is a one-use nylon nut - 10mm - that threads onto a stud. The stud is pressed through a carrier that extends vertically up to the hood latch mechanism, bolted with a torx nut to the latch housing. Strangest thing. The rear of the pan is attached with three speed screw, the front with two speed screws on the front, outside edges. But my center stud is shot. Actually was Dremelled with a cot-off wheel (Thank you Firestone; the 7/16th nut should have been a tip off that you cross threaded the bugger).
For the life of me, through my entire Bentley CD, 1stVWparts.com, etc. I cannot find a picture or name of the part that has the stud pressed into it, that attaches about 18" vertically to the back of the hood latch mechanism.
Anyone know a PN? Name? Leave it to the Germans to have a piece like this just to fasten the front of the belly pan.
