Engine access from the cab

[Tidmo]

Hi everyone. Ive tried doing a search on this but with no luck. Im looking to fit some additional gauges mounted on the drivers side windscreen a plllar and need access to the engine bay from the cab. Can anyone help? Many thanks.

Behind the drivers step panel is a thick loom that runs to the engine bay through a grommet... You can take the wiring up to your gauges up behind the footwell kick panel that hides the beeping stuff, past the end of the dash & up behind the A pillar trim.. I got a turbo gauge on mine.. I also ran the temp gauge sensor wires this route too!!

Btw where did you get your pod from?

I cant for the life of me remember..?

Like this one...


It may have even been Halfords..? i paid no more than a fiver for it..

I carefully screwed the base to the metal A pillar under the trim using a disc off cut from a 5mm? Thick piece of universal mud flap to bring the base attachment out forward of the hole in the trim, then screwed the pod neck back on when the trim was replaced... Its adjustable... There is also a second smaller hole for the wiring to the gauge hidden behind the bracket.

The real time consumer was measuring & lining up the holes for the base in the A pillar trim & the wiring..!
