Route from cockpit to engine bay 6r

Post by robertsm66 »

Hi
Me again. Quick question. I need to pull some cables through into the engine bay from the glove compartment area.

Does anyone know an easy route ?

Thanks

On the side of the battery, theres a plastic tray just beneath the windscreen. Remove the tray as much as you need to see a rubber grommet on the firewall. Pull this grommet out and thats your access to the cabin. To get to this hole from the cabin you will need to remove the glovebox, which is held on by torx screws. You wont be able to see the hole as its further up behind the dash but you'll be able to reach it with you hand.

Let me know if you need a picture from the engine bay, I'll go out and take one

In order to apply some wires from the cabin to engine bay, retrofiting TCS buttons and TPMS button, I am searcing for this kind of information.
1rst. I have to remove the hole plastic tray underneath the windshield or I can pray a little just to see the wiring hole?
2nd My car is a LHD so in the cabin side, behind the hole, I can't remove anything to see the hole. Is there any photo to help my on this wiring route?

I found this thread and i think it is very helpful.

viewtopic.php?t=71155

Also found this

So i figure out what i have to do.
It is necessary to remove the "plenum chamber bulkhead" that metal part with the 8 screws.

Any advice for the process would be useful.
