Earth From Coil??
« on: 06 February 2011, 10:02 »
Quick question, for the the past week ive had an intermittent starting problem, thought i'd check it out today. when i was inspecting the earths the one from the coil going to the block snapped off very very easily, would this have been the problem or have i just created another fault??

Upgrade the cable too. Instead of the thin crap VW fitted get some decent earth/ground cable from a car hifi shop and make it up

nah wont really effect anything, worst thing ive seen it do is make the dash go a bit funny, but thats on older cars really. the coil earth is on the 3 pin plug so it wont make any difference to the spark if its there or not
