pomme Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hiya guys, Ive been trying to find a grommet (sorry spelling not my good point) in the passenger footwell all morning, but cant seem to find one . Its to run my amp power feed through. Does anyone know where one is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Front passenger I presume? Have no idea either way, but it might jog someones memory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yeah front passengers, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calumcousins Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 ahem...if only i did my install myself..! I'll try and have a look next time that im with my car. Try having a look for one from the engine bay side of things and you may have more joy - if it looks like its somewhere near the passenger footwell, poke it through and have a look!

mattcony Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 This might help you out a little, its not easy to get to on the engine bay side of things but it is there. Try running a smaller ferit cable through 1st then attach that to your main heavy cable and pull it back through - an extra tip as well is to give it a squirt of WD40 or something to help it slide through where you have joined the 2 cables http://www.jamesnortham.com/vw/ice.htm cheers matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubzter Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 there is one behind the glovebox, I used a wire coathanger pushed through from the engine side, you will need to remove your glovebox to get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Cool cheers guys. Ill remove the glove box and see what i can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I might be imagining this but isn't there one behind the clutch rest? Or does that just get you behind the dash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Sorry, saw the title and had a blonde moment. I was going to say that I did know of a grommet in the footwell, but I took him back to his parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hum, i may have a look behing the clutch, as this might save me taking out the glove box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Clutch REST! Don't blame me if you yank the pedal off!! The clutchrest I believe has a screw to remove the cover and I know that some of my cabling went through there on my MKIV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] There is only 1 problem with that, being your cable to the battery will end up on the wrong side of the engine bay and you will have to run it across. I managed to do mine no problems with out taking the glovebox out at all, I just stuck my head under the footwell with a torch and you should be able to see it. It is tight but you can feel it with your hand up the back. cheers matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
