Swampy442 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Can you not take the undertray off to access it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 I tried to take the under tray off last weekend but it seemed like I needed to take the whole active spoiler off to get the tray off, and I think the bumper has to come off before the spoiler. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I replaced mine with a slim line electric fan when I installed my FMIC. You will defo need to remove the front bumper to do this as I think it will be a pain in the arse otherwise. Some of the brackets, I'm thinking of the top ones, will be next to impossible to do otherwise. Also if you don't remove the bumper you run the risk of seriously damaging your aircon rad in the process. Front bumper is easy anyway.

Kilps Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Do you have to watch out for anything airbag related when taking the front bumper off? I don't really want to go blowing up my airbags if/when I take the front bumper off! I don't really know how they work, but I assume there must be some sort of sensor at the front to deploy them when they're needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the sensors for the airbags are in the centre console inside the car and on the inside of each front wing. Nothing at the front to fear. Also if ever in doubt with the airbag, just disconnect the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilps Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hmm, fair enough. Thanks for clearing that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
