Front EDC wire run for B6D / B16

JeffB-M3 · 10-02-2022, 06:51 PM

I made a run at installing my new Evolve spec Bilstein B6D today. Got the rears installed but have a chassis malfunction. Thinking I pinched the EDC wire but unfortunately I didn't test it before I put things back together. It was about 1am at that point so I had no patience to troubleshoot it.

I got started on the fronts but stopped when I couldn't figure out where / how to run the EDC wire from the bottom of the strut into the engine compartment. For those of you that have installed B6D or B16 where did you run the EDC wire? What did you have to remove or move out of the way to make space for running the wires. The passenger / left side looks doable if removing the air box. No clue what to do about the driver / right side. Any help is appreciated!

Yo!

I may be off, but I believe it enters the engine compartment via a passage in the rear of the fender well.

Look at this pic, and follow the unplugged EDC wire.

Good luck!
