View Full Version : Bulkhead gromit mk4 Ibiza
Where is the bulkhead gromit for feeding a power cable through to connect to the battery?
Ibiza mk4
Thanks
Top right hand corner of bulkhead.
Look at your bonnet stay, then head towards the bulkhead.
Any ideas on what it looks like? I'm a complete amateur! And where does it come out inside the car?
Ok think i located the gromit. Little black rubber circle thing? Does it have to go through two of them? And do i have to take out the glove box to get to the one on the inside?
Yep, that'll be the grommet, and yes there are two at either sides of the bulkhead.
I didn't take my glovebox out, I just took the side cover off the dashboard and put my hands behind the "furry stuff" to locate the amp wire.
Yes to all of your questions Grapo.
This is on my old Fabia but its the same thing..

If you take out he glovebox and feed the wire through it runs down next to a loom that you can secure it to nice and tidy like.
Thanks a lot people!
So do you drill a hole in the gromit? Is it easy to locate Toxxin by just taking the side panel off (that the same as the amp box panel on the drivers side?)

I drilled through my grommet, yes.
You take that panel off like you take the fuse box panel off...they're of exactly the same design.
There's a layer of thick fluffy fabric. Get your hand behind that and locate your wire.
Had a look today. Did you drill the gromit when it was in place or did you take it out first? The gromit nearest the inside of the car is a bit pokey to get at from under the bonnet. Plus couldnt locate it from inside either. Maybe by sticking a wire through i would be able to locate it inside easier. Ah the joys of being an amateur!
I found the best idea is to pull the grommet out. Pinch it over in half and cut the 'nipple' thats in the middle off with some side cutters. This will then leave a hole in the middle to poke your wire through.
