Some people have put the box at the front of the n/s leg but on the inside , i,m fitting a FMIC which has twin air filters so it would be very difficult to get to it to change a fuse .

Having done away with the standard IC,s there was loads of room to the outside of the leg and an easily removable splash shield to gain access .

I had a look where the wiring goes through the inner wing and measured the hole , then the fuse box and realised that it might squeeze through , i needed to unclip the wiring from behind the wing which was off as i,ve got some welding to do but this can be done just by removing the slpash shields

I bent the bottom edge of the hole down a little just to give a little extra room , removed the top and bottom covers on the box also marked and removed the relays , then tried to get it through

and after a bit of juggling it went through !!!

All i,m gonna do now is mount it in a water proof box ( ahem .. tupperware ) with some packs of silica gell to stop any moisture build up .

The only wire i need to extend is the ABS one on the loom :thumbup:

nice :D

Good job that is where i have put mine but ive extended a few wires so i only have the one harness coming out of the fuse box :)

nice one!! i now know what im gonna do :)

That is fab, Excellent, my problems have just been answered, Thanks Manta and Boldy!!

What happens if you need to change a fuse :confused1:

I thought that, but after 8 years of owning my TT ive never even looked inside it!! or changed a fuse in there :biggrin:

Once the wing is on as people have said what if you need to replace a fuse, where they are is easy access and these cars being difficult enough to work on without hiding things away, I cant see the benefit of moving the fusebox, but everyone to their own, potentially you could have a major strip down to access the fusebox, removing wheels to get in.

 

Sorry but for me 100% dont see the point in this, I would have thought a nice polished fuse cover in the engine bay would look better bus as I said this is my unimportant opinion and everyone to their own, practically hiding something like this potentially makes fault finding more difficult in the event of a problem and lets be honest nothing nowadays is 100% reliable.

With blood dripping down your face, coz you cut it on the wheel arch and burnt your fingers on the brake discs :tooth:

You just have to take a couple of screws out and move the section of splash shield that,s fastened to the bumper as it,s a seperate section :thumbup1:. HTH

looks great mate well done. Think I'll be doing this to mine over winter! :)
