Routing JB4 OBD into RHD Golf R

[LatinoMk75GolfR]

Hey all,

Just wanted to ask another question. Placing an order today for a new JB4 and just been looking at a tonne of youtube videos/forum posts and the BMS instruction manual.

I am yet to undo the trim and have a look myself in the passenger side of the car behind the battery.

I've been reading there are two potential options to route the cable given I'm DSG. One being a "tear drop" shaped grommet where the manual clutch was meant to go and another a small round grommet as per below.

Just wanted to ask which one would be the best option for the stealthiest install. Also I've heard of people saying the grommet actually falls out into the engine bay.. Is this a high chance of happening with either grommet?

Thanks again all for your help. I'm keen as to get this installed just bought car jack stands, trim removal tool.

It needs to go over the central tunnel and out on the passenger side. If you use the clutch grommet the wire eventually melts.

Isn't there a clutch grommet on the passenger side on the RHD cars also?

I'll remove panels and check today but I think we should.

If there is then use it, never really pulled the carpet down to check
