Anyone know of an off the shelf product or method to keep bugs out of the various intakes in the grill of the 206TSI? I believe you can custom order a car bra, seems like an expensive option for one use a year. Have to do a long drive in NQLD next month for service and this time last year FILLED the front end with grasshoppers... terrible smell and very hard to get them all out!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

You can buy bug screens from 4WD places that cover your grill and have occy straps to hold them on Had one on my Cruiser in the north and westOriginally posted by IsaAl View Post2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B

Older thread I know but a cautionary tale ...
I've purchased and used CarBra car bras for my past six vehicles (over 20 years). They fit nicely and work very well in keeping the front clean from bugs and protected from stones. I only put them on for trips away from the city ... but I do this often.
I elected not to get a car bra for my Passat despite the nice black gloss detailing and open grill. Mistake!
On a recent trip across the Hay plain, I met an on-coming Semi just where the local council recently performed 'road works' i.e. dumping a load of loose blue metal on drying tar. The hail of stones hitting the front at speed resulted in a mass of paint chips, pock marked the windscreen and the lower radiator now looks like a patchwork (thankfully it did not hole).
Sadly I feel buying a car bra now is like selling your shares after the crash ... but for my next car!VW Passat MY19 206TSI WagonComment

If your going for long drives the car bra is by far the best option.
Clear wraps can only go so far but a car bra gives you real protection and has bug screen for the long drives at night
