2.0 16v ground points

[Tizedes 10]

Hello Guys,

 

I would like to ask your help.

I have cleaned the connection points on my rado couple of weeks ago when i noticed one of my ground cable just rolled and hidden between my passenger arch and a screen washer bottle. One end connected to the battery the other end not connected. Cable is quite thick and around half metre.

Anyone has a picture of the ground points?

Any advice where is it from?

I have a connected cable behind the battery, side of the engine, starter motor, genrator.

 

Any helps much appriciate

There should be a cam cover earth to the coil mounting bracket, but nothing on the drivers side, a picture would help

I take some picture where I have a ground point and where was the disconnected cable.

Just looks like someone in the past has added on an

Extra earth wire. I've had three corrados and dismantled loads and

all the earths had brown insulation, not black, like the wire shown.

Does everything work? Maybe at one point extra equipment was added on?

Just remove it I the car has no issues.

Maybe you are right and it was for some extra equipment. Everything works as should. Ecu should have a ground point?

The ecu does indeed have an earth return, I don't remember the exact wire but it'll have brown insulation. I haven't seen a 16v loom in 10 years since I last broke one..

As long as the car runs ok, starts etc I wouldn't worry.
