Title: Ground strap from body to bonnet snapped
Post by: Jasikasisback on 10 December 2013, 17:17

The ground strap from the body to the bonnet near the ecu on the top left has snapped...is this needed for something important or can i ignore it??

it only matters if your battery shorts on the bonnet (or the heater washer jets fail and short out) Mine dosen't have one connected and t.b.h it's a small risk I don't mind having

They've all been broken or about to break on all 5 mk3's ive owned and none of them have spontaneously combusted.

Mk3s are to wet and rusty to burn

Same happened to mine just recently. Going to grab one of the washer things with a part to crimp the wire, along with some wire.
