HELP!! Boost gauge fitting...
« on: 23 May 2011, 18:18 »
 :angry:

been outside for the last hour trying to find a way into my cabin via the engine bay.. without any luck! this is the second time iv been out.. stripped the drivers foot well and plastic panels from around the fuse board but still cant see a way through?

seen one link on here that describes a gromit above the accelerator pedal but i cant find this... and cant find any other possible way through?

if anyone has any pictures to show me where to go through please post them as this is sending me mental! iv had the boost gauge for over a week now and still not been able to get it installed!  :undecided:

any info would be great!

as you are looking from front of car into engine bay, right hand side, half way down, there is a grommet. This comes out behind glovebox and you do not need to remove glovebox to get to it! Feed a coathanger through with vacuum hose FIRMLY attached!
