Pic Request - Earth strap 2.0 8v

[yeti 0]

I have now descovered that the reason my golf is discharging the battery is that i never refitted the broken engine earth strap after changing the gear box (put a new box in - moved house and it sat for a ear so i forgot! oops!)

 

has anyone got a pic of their 8v engine bay - specifically the earth strap on the right hand side of ther engine is pos as although i can see where it goes on the block i cant remember where it goes in the bay

 

cheers

Doesn't VAG-CAT show where it goes?

just changed the 8v engine out of a corrado and put an abf 16v valve in. The cable on that went directly back to the firewall, then along the back and forward again to the battery

yep hes right that was my car lol it attaches at the gearbox, you should have one bolt on the gear box with an extra 8mm thread on it for the earth cable
