Question

Got my new babe today (P1), And sometime over the next week i`ll be fitting a knocklink and oil temperature+pressure sensor cabling. Now in my old car (MY99 UK Turbo) there was no air con so it was easy to get the cables into the cabin through that big rubber grommet, but as i now have air-con to contend with can i have your suggestions on the best place to run these 3 cables based on your experiences please?

Thanks in advance

For the passenger side you can still use the grommet. Just remove the aircon drain pipe, run the cabes and re-fit. Easy peasy on my MY99 with aircon.

There's another grommet on the drivers-side below the brake fluid resevoir. I used that for my Knocklink, oil temp & oil pressure wires.
