Firewall


A vehicles firewall is the bulkhead separating the engine compartment from the passenger compartment. It also helps to protect the occupants in a collision as well as subdue the sound from the engine. The firewall is not a solid bulkhead, many wires, hoses and airducts pass through it, usually through small holes with rubber fixtures protecting the wires from abrasion against the sharp metal holes.
