Fuse box pictures ......
Discussion
Hi all,
Does any of you kind people have any pictures of what the fuse box and associated wires etc should look like in the correct position.
My fusebox, ECU and the other wires / relays all fall on the passenger floor whenever I take the carpet panel down.
There's what looks to be a fibreboard (?) panel mounted vertically under the dash with 4 holes that look like they might correspond with the mounting holes on the fusebox, if it had all of it's mounts that is .....
Or has anyone found a better solution or mounted everything in a different way ?
Oh, it's a 1990 S3 in case it makes a difference.
Thanks in advance

Seriously, I too have the plastic panel thingy that the fusebox should be mounted to. I even tried to re-mount it once - it fell off again. IMO once its tucked away up there it is a bugger to get to. I've just opted to tidy everything up i.e. untangle all the flying leads, cable tie it all together and tuck it away using the footwell panel.

I had a feeling that would be the response 
I thought about trying to re mount it but I couldn't see how all the wires would fit between the board and the fusebox even though the mounts raise the fuse box away from the surface slightly.
I know what you mean though about it being hard to get to if it was in the correct place.
Think I maybe need to just sort out the way the carpet panel is held up so it's easier to get to instead. At the moment it's got 2 screws holding it up, maybe some bolts and wingnuts are needed ?

This was the response when I asked the question earlier in the year....

I converted mine to use captive bolts and wingnuts (originally secured by a couple of self-tappers) and it has made a huge difference, the carpet will stay in place due to friction on the threads making it easy to thread the wingnut on. Previously I needed three pairs of hands to hold everything in place while I screwed it back together.

By chance I took some myself just before Xmas as I wanted to see what was on it (trying to determine Fuel Pump Relay on S1). I have tried to work out how to post pictures on here but couldn't get to grips with it. Send me your e-mail address and I'll send them over.
Cheers.
Cheers.
send me a copy i will post them up for you
