damm engine too big!!

[Laura]

ok i FINALLY finished my new install, went to start wiring it in,,, i thought easy 30 mins max.

nope

my engine is too big, n i cant find anywhere to put the power cable through, cant even drill ad the sound deadening sint about a inch forward from the bulkhead

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

very angry taylor

 

[rustybolt]

there is a rubber grommet taylor. get a long screw driver and poke it through from behind the engine, its behind and below the coolant bottle, then have some one inside to let you know its entered the cabin.

Tape the power cable to the end of the screw driver and do it again, the undo tape and pull cable through, should be fairly easy, ive done a couple of Clios now. Hope you sort it

 

[Laura]

it was piss easy on the ph2 1.2

done a number of installs and i just cant be bothered *****ing around, i can see the crommit from the inside just too much crap on the engine side, ecu, battry, 2.0 engine etc etc
n when your doing on your own in faded light getts annoying, so im just goin to pay someone to do it for me

Juts undo the coolant bottle and you can get your hand down behind the sound deadning, its tight but more than do-able

i have to tools other than a drill lol

i have to tools other than a drill lol

with your only tool being a drill, you wont be able to connect the cable to the battery anyway... so i would give up.

If a jobs worth doing, its worth doing properly.

Always get the right tools! Must be a man thing, as I love to find any excuse to buy another tool.:clown:

as was said befor elift the power steering fluid tank up and wedge it behind something this will allow you to put your hand behind the sound deadening and put the wire through where the bonnet release cable goes through.

which reminds me i need to put the grommet back in still as i can hear engine noise coming in through the passenger compartment

 

[Laura]

going to have another bash tonight
