Body earth points.

Post by chevpol » Sun May 08, 2022 6:36 am

OK folks, how many earth straps/points are there on a A2? So fat, I have found 3 main and 1 for the lights etc?

The ones I have found are battery box, 1 on the bulkhead (drivers side) and starter motor.

Are there anymore?

Sounds like you have them covered. By bulkhead are you talking either the bell housing to body or motor mount to body? That was the two locations used, either or. You really need to get the manuals, you can download them all at Pedros.cz. I used to have them for download at the g838 but too many people abused the privilege and I had to stop the downloads. They are still available for viewing there though.

The one on the body comes put of the wiring loom by the air filter housing, and is bolted to the engine bay bulkhead near the brake fluid filler.

I think I had better sort out a manual download though!!

You should have a ground wire from the headlights going to one of the bolts on the air cleaner housing or close to it and also a heavy wire from the alternator going to the fender. I had forgotten that one on the A2. Not sure about the wire coming out of the harness, I will have to look at the diagram.
