Ohh no cutting the carpet not good, did mine without cutting. Make sure you order a caravelle carpet as you make know they are a little different around the centre piece.

In @chriscroft pic on page 1 you can see the hose connecting to that spigot and it looks very much like the factory coupler end of the long hose pic i posted
@BiTurbo found a part number that relates to this system so i looked it up and its a closed 20mm grommet, it doesnt look like it fits onto any of the pipes i have put did notice that the lip/catch that secures it into place looks identical to the profile on the two pipes pictured earlier.
Im now wondering if this grommet needs to be removed from an air pipe inlet(?) and each of these pipes connects in its place ??????

Yes the tube pictured above (the long one) is the correct pipe to run from the airbox to the glovebox and the bottle cooler in the centre console (if you have the comfort dash centre console) so its just the foam terminating ring to mate it to the back of the glovebox when its closed.
Thanks to @volkscraft who did a full comfort dash swap and confirmed the fitment of the pipe and terminating position, its in his thread but the connection point is up inside dash beside stereo so access will be a bit tricky !

Can't remember exactly but about £14-15 I reckon
I connected my glovebox the other day so it is now chilled but never did find a sealing ring like the foam one that goes behind the bottle cooler in the centre console, the outlet is pretty close to the entry in the glovebox when closed but reckon there's a mm or two which may benefit from sealing up ?

Cheers Paul. Did you bother with an on/off valve at the box like the one in Chris Croft's photo?
So by the looks of the other post it's then it's a case of getting up beside the stereo in order to connect it to the air-box.. Might give this one a go, keep the sarnies cool.
If you've got the part number anywhere I'd be obliged.
Cheers,

You're not missing much with central bottle cooler though, it looks huge but can only hold a tiny bottleFunnily enough, I had the bottle cooler off again today to do more fusebox firkling and because I put it down upside down I noticed something I hadn't seen before. The little plastic disc with a hole in it to let the air through, had been put in the wrong way round, so even when it was turned to max airflow inside, nothing much could get through
Unclipping it and putting it on the right way and it looks like this
Have to see what difference it makes but if you're finding the bottle cooling function a bit crap, it's worth pulling it out and having a look. Even German factories have Friday afternoons!

I have taken the plastic disk out completely and I get a stronger flow of air.
