I am looking for the plastic rectangular grommet and screws that go around the throttle body cable and one other cable for a 1992 500E. It attaches to the barrier between the firewall and the back of the engine on the passenger side. I attached a picture to help identify the part. Thanks.

WANTED WTB: Throttle body & engine harness cable grommet
- Thread starter ffinn
- Start date
I'm not sure if the clamshell grommet (124 546 06 80) is the right one in this case. Ffinn mentions he has only the throttle body and one other cable passing through the firewall; the clamshell is for 4 cables.
This in itself is not a problem, but judging from the pic Ffinn posted of the opening in the firewall, it is a quite different shape to mine. Also, my opening had tabs on each side into which the clamshell "slid" and was held in place. These seem to be missing from Ffinn's pic.
I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong!

His photo is sideways so it looks different, but that is the same opening the firewall, complete with tabs where the clamshell locks into place.
Pre-facelift cars with the large ETA connector route the wire through the clamshell. Post-facelift cars route the ETA wire separately and it does not go through the clamshell. However, AFAIK the clamshell part number is the same for both.
